American football team yearbook: one book for the whole squad

From the quarterback to the long snapper, from the offensive line to the head coach: in an American football team yearbook, your team's own book, everyone gets their own double-page spread with two photos, answers, a name and a signature. A book for 8 to 42 people costs €24.90 including design, printing and shipping, and it arrives 5 to 7 working days after the last answers and payments.

Left half of a sample double-page spread for an American football team, in German: a drawn portrait of a player with a bun, answers to questions such as favourite play, ritual before kickoff and huddle saying, the four award nominations, what she has learnt from the coaches and wishes for next season — Sample page. The names and answers are made up; the background and the icons are design examples.

Right half of the sample spread, in German: a drawn portrait in the number 52 jersey, short answers such as favourite game-day moment, the play the dressing room still talks about, what she likes most about the team, a signature, name and details such as position linebacker and height — Sample page. The names and answers are made up; the background and the icons are design examples.

Large squad, one book: what works up to 42 people and beyond

A Flashbook has room for 8 to 42 people, and coaches and team staff count too. American football squads are often bigger. Then it depends on whether a single team has more than 42 people or whether the people are spread across several teams:

One team with more than 42 people. There is only one way to do this: the special book. It goes through the enquiry; just add the number there.
Several teams in one club. The youth, women's and men's teams can each get their own book with up to 42 people. When 3 or more teams from your club order together, every book gets cheaper.

Everything this page says about format, extra pages, awards and sponsor pages applies to the book for 8 to 42 people. For a special book, the enquiry settles the features, price and delivery time.

What goes into the American football team yearbook?

Each double-page spread shows two photos, the answers, a name, a signature and four short details with icons. We adapt the title and questions to your team, for example:

How did you get into American football?
Which play is your favourite?
What is your ritual before kickoff?
Which play does the dressing room still talk about?
What have you learnt from your coaches?

If children are playing, for example in flag football, the parents fill in the questionnaire. Photos and answers are used only for the book; more on this under Children's photos and data protection.

What the whole team gets together

For the cover, all the photos are cut out and arranged into one team picture. You choose the background yourselves, for example your field, or you take our stadium cover. Also in the book:

the team photo
four team awards such as “Tackle of the season” or “Safest hands on the team”; the nominations from the questionnaire appear on every double-page spread
a double-page spread for the league table, a special moment and a special match
two double-page spreads for signatures and messages
at least 4 blank double-page spreads for family, friends and club legends
up to 4 sponsor pages, included in the price, plus logos on the back cover

It is bound as a landscape A5 hardcover, and the 170 g/m² paper can be written on with a ballpoint pen.

How a whole team fills in the book

One person organises it; everyone else just needs their phone and two photos.

The enquiry takes 2 minutes. Then you get the link via WhatsApp.
You share the link in the team group chat. Everyone needs about 5 minutes on their phone for the questionnaire and photos. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays an overview via WhatsApp shows who is still missing.
As soon as everyone has answered and all the books are paid for, the book is designed and printed. The books arrive after 5 to 7 working days.

American football team gifts: the right occasions

The season usually runs from spring into autumn. A few moments are particularly good for the book:

End of the season. After the last game the standings are settled, and everyone can get their book at the end-of-season party. The guide End-of-season party ideas collects ideas for the evening.

Saying goodbye to the head coach. When a coach leaves, the book is a gift for the American football coach that players and staff write in together. You will find more ideas in the guide Gifts for coaches.

Promotion or the playoffs. The spread for the special game records how you got there.

A new team's first season. Whoever has built a team from scratch ends up with a book of everyone who was there from the start.

How much does the team yearbook cost?

You pay per book. How much depends on how many teams from your club each get their own book in one order. Design, printing and shipping to Germany and Austria are included.

1 to 2 teams: €24.90
from 3 teams: €22.90
from 5 teams: €19.90

The minimum order is 10 books, and not everyone in the book has to buy one. Each person pays via a payment link, or everything is paid together by invoice within 14 days. Because every book is designed individually, orders cannot be cancelled. The enquiry settles the price of a special book.

Frequently asked questions about the American football team yearbook

Our squad has more than 50 people. Is that possible?

Yes. If a single team has more than 42 people, the special book is the way to go: it goes through the enquiry, so mention there how many people should be in the book. If the people are spread across several teams, each team can also get its own book with up to 42 people.

Do the coaches get their own double-page spread?

Yes. Coaches and team staff fill in the questionnaire in the same way and get their own double-page spread. They count towards the number of people.

Does the book also work for children playing flag football?

Yes. For children, the parents fill in the questionnaire and upload the photos.

Can our cheerleaders be in the book too?

Yes, as long as you stay at 42 people or fewer in total; otherwise it becomes a special book. A separate book for the cheer team works too, of course; see Cheerleading coach gift.

Do the youth, women's and men's teams get one shared book?

As you like. A shared book works for up to 42 people, and beyond that as a special book through the enquiry. Or each team gets its own book; more on this under Sports club yearbook.
