TEAM CONTACT CARDS

  1. Sheet 1 is an all-vertical option.
  2. Combine sheets 2 and 3 to make a second option - print the player side of the card at 100% of normal size and the parent side at 75% of normal size.  Then cut them to match size, marry them and then laminate.

  6. Limit of ONE of each award per player per season - (i.e. one Hat Trick, one Playmaker, and one Zero)

Links & Docs

Roster stickers are intended to be used on paper scoresheets so that you don't have to fill out each players name & number by hand. The need for these has decreased significantly now that District 6 requires that all scrimmages & games are recorded using the Gamesheet App. In general, you should only need roster stickers in cases where Gamesheet cannot be used and a paper scoresheet is necessary (i.e. - out of state games/tournaments). This template is formatted to be printed with Avery 5163 labels that are 2" x 4 ".
