Table tennis coach gift: a book from the whole section

A table tennis coach gift that the whole section writes together: a book in which every player gets a double-page spread with two photos and their own answers. You pay €24.90 per book including design, printing and shipping. When 3 or more teams from your club each get their own book in one order, every book gets cheaper. The books arrive 5 to 7 working days after the last answers and payments.

The book, the questionnaire and our WhatsApp support are in German. Other languages and shipping to other countries on request.

Sample page. The names and answers are made up; the background and the icons are design examples.

One section, one book

Table tennis is played in small teams, usually of four or six. A book, however, needs at least 8 people. For a gift for the coach it pays to think bigger:

The coach and team staff count too, and up to 42 people fit in. That is how four people at the table quickly become a whole book.

What goes into the book for your table tennis section?

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

For children and younger teenagers, the parents fill in the questionnaire. Photos and answers are used only for the book; see Children's photos and data protection.

A yearbook for your table tennis section: the shared pages

The cover shows the whole section: all the photos are cut out and arranged into one picture, and you choose the background, such as a photo of your sports hall. You also get:

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

How ordering works for your section

One person takes care of it, for example one of the parents or a team captain. Everyone else just needs their phone, as with the over 300 teams that already have a Flashbook.

  1. An enquiry takes 2 minutes, and then the link arrives via WhatsApp.
  2. You share the link in the section's group chat. Everyone fills it in on their phone in about 5 minutes and uploads two photos. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays an overview via WhatsApp shows who is still missing.
  3. Once everyone has answered and all the books are paid for, the book is designed and printed. 5 to 7 working days later, the books arrive.

When is the right time for a gift for your table tennis coach?

The season is played indoors from late summer to spring, split into a first half and a second half. That gives you two natural dates and one special one:

Christmas party after the first half of the season. The break between the two halves is a time to look back and say thank you. Start well before the party, because the book arrives 5 to 7 working days after the last answers and payments. There are more ideas in the guide Christmas gifts for coaches.

End of the season in spring. After the last league match of the second half, it is clear who goes up and who stays in the division. The spread for the league table and a special match records it.

Saying goodbye to the coach or youth officer. Anyone who has unlocked the hall and collected the balls every training night for years gets a book from everyone. The guide Gifts for coaches has more ideas by occasion.

How much does the book for your table tennis section cost?

You pay per book, and the price 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 always included.

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

The minimum order is 10 books; not everyone in the book has to buy one. Each person pays separately via a payment link, or one person pays for everyone by invoice within 14 days. Every book is designed individually, so orders cannot be cancelled.

Frequently asked questions about table tennis coach gifts

Our team has only four players. Is that enough?

Not on its own, as a book needs at least 8 people. Add a second team, the juniors or the whole section, and the coach counts too. Up to 42 people fit into one book.

Can juniors and adults go into the same book?

Yes. For the children, the parents fill it in, and the adults do it themselves. Ask for each person's team, so the book shows who belongs where.

Is the book a gift for the coach or for everyone?

Both. Everyone in the book can get a copy, and one of them goes to the coach. The minimum order is 10 books.

Does it also work for a school table tennis club?

Yes, with 8 to 42 people. School groups pay the same price per book, and here too the parents fill in the questionnaire for children.
