Out of the six publishers we're reviewing for backgrounds, only four had any sports backgrounds or sports photo album templates. This is amazing to me, since so many of our children are involved in different levels of sports!

As a Mom, I definitely know this: when one is involved in AAU or any other travelling sport, it becomes their life (and consequently yours, too). What better way to document such a time in their life forever in a photo book.

I've created several pages about making your own photo books and memory books for for kids' sports teams. So also check out sports photo books and gymnastics team yearbooks.

Sports Photo Albums at Jostens

While most of the other photo book publishers don't have much Jostens/OurHubbub Photo Books has the market cornered on sports backgrounds. I would even go so far as to say, don't bother going anywhere else if you're looking to create a serious, quality yearbook or sports photo book. But just to be fair, we will show you what Picaboo, Shutterfly and PhotoWorks have available, too.

Here's a list of what Jostens/OurHubbubhas available in themes and backgrounds for sports photo albums. As you can see, they are too numerous, so we will show you only a small sampling. The covers are amazing and make the finishing touch to the book.
