What goes into a football team yearbook?

Everyone in the squad gets their own double-page spread with two photos, for example a childhood photo and a current one in their kit, plus their answers. It also shows their name, signature and four details with icons: position, stronger foot, height, birthday. The questions can be adapted. For a football team, these work well:

For children's teams, the parents fill in the questionnaire, ideally together with their child. Photos and answers are only used for the book; find out more under Children's photos and data protection.

Pages for the whole team

The whole team is on the cover: the photos are cut out and combined into one cover image. You choose the background, for example a picture of your home ground, or you go for the stadium cover. Inside, you also get:

The book is a landscape A5 hardcover on 170 g/m² paper that you can write on with a ballpoint pen. On the cover you can put “Freundebuch” (what Germans call a book like this), “Mannschaftsbuch” (team yearbook) or a title of your own.

How the team yearbook works for football

Only one person needs to organise it, for example someone from the coaching team or one of the parents. Everyone else does their part on their own phone.

  1. Enquiring takes 2 minutes. You then get the link via WhatsApp.
  2. You share the link in the team group chat. Everyone answers the questions on their phone in about 5 minutes and uploads their two photos. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you get a WhatsApp update showing who is still missing.
  3. Once all the answers are in and all the books are paid for, we design and print. The books reach you 5 to 7 working days later.

Over 300 teams already have a Flashbook. Clubs with a Flashbook: 1. FC Nürnberg, VfL Osnabrück, SV Wacker Burghausen, FC Red Bull Salzburg, TSV 1860 Rosenheim.

When does the book make a good football team gift?

A football season runs from summer to summer, and in youth football part of every squad moves up to the next age group each year. After that, the team never plays together in quite the same line-up again. That is why the book works best as a team gift on these occasions:

End of the season in summer. Hand the books out at the last match or the summer party. There is no fixed delivery date. For the party itself, see our end-of-season party ideas.

Christmas party after the first half of the season. The winter break is a good time to look back on the first few months. More ideas: Christmas gifts for your football team.

Saying goodbye to the coach. When the coaching team steps down after years, they get a book with every player in it. More in our guide Coach leaving gift.

Promotion, a league title or a cup win. The spread for the league table and the special match records how it happened.

How much does the book cost for a football team?

The price is per book and depends on how many teams from your club order together. Design, printing and shipping to Germany and Austria are always included.

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

The book holds 8 to 42 people, with coaches and team staff included. The minimum order is 10 books, but not everyone in the book has to buy one. Everyone pays for themselves via a payment link, or one person pays for all by invoice within 14 days. Because every book is designed individually, orders cannot be cancelled once placed.

From what age does the book work for a football team?

From the under-7s to the veterans' side. For children, the parents fill in the questionnaire: the child talks, the parents type. All that matters is the size of the group: the book holds 8 to 42 people.

Does every team in the youth section get its own book?
