Why it matters
Lineups get announced in the gym and nowhere else
The starters hear their names over the PA, but people at home never see them. Making a lineup graphic by hand takes too long on game day. So the post players would share most often never happens.
Ideas for Starting Lineup Graphics
Names, numbers and positions
List each starter with jersey number and position. Use the name each player goes by, spelled the way they spell it.
A team photo or one action shot
Use a team photo or one strong action shot. Five tiny headshots can be hard to read on a phone.
Opponent and game time
Add who you’re playing and when. A lineup post doubles as a final game reminder.
Sport-specific order
Volleyball rotations, soccer formations and basketball starting fives each have a familiar order. List players the way fans expect.
Bench and coaches in the caption
Thank the bench and staff in the caption so the post doesn’t feel like it’s only for the starters.
Senior callouts
Mark seniors in the lineup during their final season. It sets up senior night later.

Starting Lineup Graphics tips
Confirm the lineup with the coach
Lineups change late. Post only after the coach confirms, and fix it fast if something changes.
Spell every name right
Check names against the roster. A misspelled name is the first thing a parent will notice.
Rotate featured photos
Use a different starter’s photo each game so the spotlight moves around the team.
Follow your photo policy
Check your school’s rules on posting student names and photos before you share any lineup.
