Sports club yearbook: one book for every team in your club
The sports club yearbook gives every team in your club a book of its own: all the players, coaches and team staff get a double-page spread with two photos and their own answers. The more teams from your club take part, the lower the price: €24.90 per book with 1 to 2 teams, €22.90 with 3 or more teams and €19.90 with 5 or more, each including design, printing and shipping.
This page is for youth coordinators, committees and section heads who do not want to organise each team separately. Several teams, one contact: we coordinate everything, and you just share the link in the teams.
The book works for every sport and just as well for a fire brigade, music society, youth group, shooting club or Stammtisch (a group of regulars who meet at the same table). You will find the pages for these groups further down.
The book, the questionnaire and our WhatsApp support are in German. Other languages and shipping to other countries on request.
What goes into the team yearbook for your club?
Everyone gets a double-page spread with two photos, their name, signature and four short details with icons. We adapt the title and questions to your group, and teams can get different questions. Typical questions:
- How did you come to join the club?
- Who is your role model at the club?
- What has been your best tournament so far?
- What is your ritual before a match?
- What do you wish for your team?
The pages for every team
For the cover, all the photos are cut out and arranged into one shared cover image, in front of your own background or the stadium cover. Inside, you also get:
- the team photo
- team awards you choose yourselves, for example “Biggest fighting spirit” or “Best mood at training”
- a double-page spread for the league table, a special moment and a special match, if the team plays in a league
- two double-page spreads for signatures and messages
- at least 4 blank double-page spreads to write in for friends, family and club legends
- up to 4 sponsor pages and sponsor logos on the back cover
The book is a landscape A5 hardcover on 170 g/m² paper that you can write on with a ballpoint pen. The cover can say “Mannschaftsbuch” (team yearbook), for example, or “Freundebuch”, the German word for a book in which friends each fill in a page.
Sports club gifts: a book for the children in your club
For children, the parents fill in the questionnaire, ideally together with their child, while teenagers answer their questions themselves. Photos and answers are only used for the book. Find out more under children's photos and data protection. If you are looking for a gift for all the children at the end of the year, you will find more sports club gift ideas under Club Christmas gifts.
Sponsor pages: room for your supporters
Every book can include up to 4 sponsor pages, each a full page, freely designed and included in the price. On top of that, your sponsors' logos appear on the back cover. How to approach sponsors is explained in our guide Sports club sponsorship.
How it works when several teams order
On your side, one person to organise is enough, for example the youth coordinator. In each team, the coach or a parent shares the link, and the players do the rest themselves, or their parents in the case of children.
- Enquiring takes 2 minutes. You then get the link via WhatsApp.
- You share the link in the WhatsApp group of each team. Everyone answers the questions on their phone in about 5 minutes and uploads two photos. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you get a WhatsApp update showing who is still missing.
- 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 a club order the books?
A good time is the end of the season, when the teams split up or move up to the next age group. Christmas parties and club anniversaries work well too, with a book for every team in the anniversary year. Ideas for the whole anniversary year are in Club anniversary ideas.
How much do the yearbooks for the whole club cost?
The price is per book and depends on how many teams from your club take part in one order. 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. Nobody has to pay upfront. Because every book is designed individually, orders cannot be cancelled once placed.
Frequently asked questions about the sports club yearbook
Does every team get its own questions?
Yes, teams can get different questions, for example the youngest players different ones from the first team. We adapt the title and questions to your group.
Who keeps track when lots of teams take part?
Several teams, one contact: we coordinate everything. On top of that, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you get a WhatsApp update showing who is still missing.
Do the club funds have to pay upfront?
No. Everyone pays for themselves via a payment link, or one person pays for all by invoice within 14 days. Printing starts as soon as everyone who ordered has paid.
Can referees or volunteers get a book too?
Yes, if the group has 8 to 42 people, for example the referees, the committee or the helpers from the club festival. We adapt the title and questions to your group.
