Team banners are a source of pride and identity, and each team should proudly display their banner at each game and on Picture Day. Typically, teams have banners in some form or another. There are only a few rules:

• You may put players’ first names only on the banner. Do not put first and last names or uniform numbers. (Just putting uniform numbers with no name is okay too, but kids like to see their name.) This is done for the child’s safety. If you are using a child’s photo, do not associate their name or number with their photo. Besides your team’s name, don’t forget your coach, assistant coach, and team parent — you may also want to include your team number.
• Team names should be fun and non-political. Questions about the appropriateness of your team’s banner content? Contact ask@ayso75.org.
• Please be careful with banner placement — place it at least 10–15 feet back from the field.
