Why it matters

Preseason stories go untold until the first game

The weeks before an opener are when fans are most curious, yet most team accounts stay quiet until the first score. By then the chance to introduce seniors, new coaches and goals has passed.

Ideas for Season Preview Graphics

Returning starters

Feature the players coming back with a photo and one line about what they did last year.

Newcomers to watch

Introduce transfers, freshmen who made varsity or players moving into new roles.

Last season in one line

Remind fans of last year’s record or playoff finish to set the stakes.

Coach’s goal for the year

Pull a short quote from the head coach about what this group is chasing.

Opening week matchup

End the series with the first opponent, date and kickoff time.

Full schedule teaser

Pair the preview with a season schedule graphic so fans can plan the whole fall.

How it works with Social Media Graphics

Season Preview Graphics, step by step.

Three steps

  1. Plan a short series

    Pick three to five posts for the week before the opener. Rocket Graphics’ recognition and game day designs work well as a set.

  2. Fill in each story

    Add a player name, photo and one fact to each post. Every design carries your logo and colors, so the series looks like it belongs together.

  3. Save the right shapes

    Export square PNGs for the feed and story versions for a daily countdown, then schedule them in your usual app.

Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Tips to get it right.

Season Preview Graphics tips

  1. Keep each post to one idea

    One player or one fact per graphic is easier to read than a crowded collage.

  2. Use last season’s best photos

    Action shots from last year are fine for returning players. Label them by season in your files so you can find them again.

  3. Count down to the opener

    A daily post for the last five days gives followers a reason to keep checking.

  4. Coordinate across programs

    If every fall team previews in the same week, stagger posts so each team gets its own day.
