TEAM BANNER

Here’s a simple checklist you can use to design your banner that follows the Region 73 guidelines and keeps safety first.

Required content

• A fun team name (kid-friendly, non-political, non-branded).

• Sponsor name and/or logo somewhere clearly visible.

• AYSO logo and “Region 73” (or Region 73 logo) both on the banner.

• First name only for:

  • Head Coach

  • Assistant Coach

  • Optional team manager and referees

• First name or nickname only for each player (no last names).

• Division and gender, e.g., “U10G,” “U8B,” etc.

• At least one soccer ball graphic on the banner.

Safety and privacy rules

• Do not use any last names.

• Do not show jersey/uniform numbers, or photos tied to names or numbers.

• Keep the banner stand stable and designed so no sharp edges or trip hazards (PVC tubing is recommended).

Materials and frame

• Vinyl banner or fabric banner is fine; vinyl is more weather-resistant.

• Recommended frame: PVC tubing (about ¾–1 inch) with corner fittings; easy to assemble and disassemble.

• Make sure the frame can be safely staked or weighted so it won’t tip in wind.

Creativity and judging

• Make it colorful and fun to show spirit: themes, mascots, slogans appropriate for kids.

• Involve players in picking the team name or artwork (within the guidelines).

If you already have a banner

• Add stickers/decals with:

  • AYSO logo

  • Region 73 logo

  • Sponsor logo if missing
