Four to six per team: how it still becomes a book

To be honest, a single tennis team is usually not enough. On match day four or six people take to the court, but a book needs at least 8 people. So think a little bigger:

The coach, team staff and captains count too, and up to 42 people fit in.

What goes into the book for your 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 you. For tennis, for example:

For juniors, the parents fill in the questionnaire. Photos and answers are used only for the book; more under Children's photos and data protection.

Shared pages for team and club

Everyone goes on the cover together, cut out and arranged into one picture. You choose the background, for example a photo of your courts, or you take the stadium cover. Inside you get:

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

A gift for your tennis team captain

Whoever captains a tennis team writes the line-ups, organises car shares, finds a substitute when someone drops out and looks after the balls. A book in which everyone writes a sentence to them is a gift for the captain that lasts. The right question goes into the questionnaire, for example “Thank you to our captain for …”. If your team has fewer than 8 people, add a second team or the training group.

How the book comes together in your team group chat

One person organises it, often the captain. If the book is meant for the captain, someone else takes over.

  1. You send an enquiry in 2 minutes and then get the link via WhatsApp.
  2. The link goes into the team or section group chat. Everyone answers the questions on their phone in about 5 minutes and uploads two photos. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays you get an overview via WhatsApp of who is still missing.
  3. Once all the answers are in and all the books are paid for, the book is designed and printed. 5 to 7 working days later, the books are with you.

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

The outdoor season is short: the clay courts are prepared in spring, and in autumn play moves indoors. In between come the team matches and most of the occasions for a book.

End of the tennis season. After the last team match, many clubs celebrate with a tournament or a party on the clubhouse terrace. A good moment to hand out the books; ideas for the evening are in End-of-season party ideas.

Saying goodbye to the coach. If the coach stops or moves to another club, the book becomes a leaving gift for the tennis coach with all of their groups in it. There is more in the guide Coach leaving gift.

Promotion or a title. The spread for the league table and a special match records how the season went. The guide Gifts for coaches has more ideas by occasion.

How much does the book for your tennis teams cost?

The price is per book and goes down when several 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, but not everyone in the book has to buy one. Each person pays via a payment link, or one person pays the invoice within 14 days. Orders cannot be cancelled, because every book is designed individually.

Frequently asked questions about tennis coach gifts

We are just one team of six. Can we still get the book?

Not with six people on their own, as a book needs at least 8 people. Add the coach and a second team. For other quantities, just send us an enquiry.

Can the junior section make one book together?

Yes: all the children and teenagers who train with the same coach, in one book with up to 42 people. For children, the parents fill in the questionnaire.

Does the book also suit a casual group that plays doubles every Friday?

Yes, as long as there are at least 8 of you. You adapt the title and questions to your group.

Our club is in Austria. Does that work too?

Yes. Shipping to Austria is included in the price. The book, the questionnaire and support via WhatsApp are in German.
