How to Make a Team Roster for a Classroom

If you're a teacher who organizes a school team and wishes to celebrate and encourage that team on the field as well as in the classroom, you can create a custom team roster to display in your class. More than simply a cheerleading tool, this roster can have practical applications, with helpful information about each student athlete.

Instructions

    • 1

      Draw the same number of horizontal lines on a piece of poster board as there are players on your team. Ideally, these lines should be spaced widely enough to fill the entire board.

    • 2

      Draw as many vertical lines as you need, dependent on what information you'll add to the team roster board. In addition to each player's name, you may wish to add his uniform number, position, birthday, address, pertinent medical information, awards, highlights or more.

    • 3

      List the members of your team in alphabetical order by either their first or last names. If the athletes are in elementary school, list them by their first name so that they can easily identify themselves. If you teach high school, you may wish to go by last name.

    • 4

      Fill in each "cell" of the poster board with the appropriate information using markers. You may wish to color code your players, perhaps putting goalies in one color, defenders in another and forwards in yet another.

    • 5

      Add lettering to the top of the poster board. This information could include the school, team name and any other pertinent information.

    • 6

      Inform your assistant coaches and the school's office staff about the team roster and its location in your classroom. In the event of an emergency, they'll be able to quickly have access to each player's home phone number and other information.
