Sports pages generally convey excitement, action, and pride in a team, or accomplishment.
Team pictures are great if they're labeled to identify players—trust me, you won't remember names by the next season—so identify everyone you can. For large teams, list the names along the side. For smaller group shots, I have found that tags or flags identifying each person adds interest to the page and becomes part of the decoration/theme of the page.
There are embellishments such as bikes, skates, waves, boats and oars, or skis and sunglasses that will add interest to your page. Consider using these to highlight the pictures for this sport.

- Try to include at least one picture of the single player you are highlighting—your child!
- Journal about the event and the team. For example, if the game came down to the final shot, include those details. It makes the story more appealing.
- Mention the coach and a piece of advice he or she gave the team/member.
- Include seasonal stats and awards won.
- There are a lot of scrapbooking papers specific to each sport. There are also pages that are printed with grass, gravel, trails, snow, sky scenes, or water to convey the sport's environment.
- Embellish with the player's number, team logo, mascot, sports equipment, tickets or memorabilia.
- Consider doing the page in one team color and label the title in the other color.
- If appropriate, as with school teams, include the grade or age (prevents guessing later on).
- Use brochures for events such as marathons, bike races, or competition events.
