Youth sports team pictures from practice phone photos, at no cost to your team
Elite Team Pictures turns practice phone photos into pro-style team and athlete portraits. Photo Day costs the team nothing, families buy only what they want, and prints arrive in about 2 weeks after artwork approval.
Coaches and booster clubs
The club does not need to find or hire a photographer. At most public schools the booster club plans team and individual photos. Private schools often go through coaches or athletic directors.
