Volleyball Card Templates
Free printable volleyball card templates for senior night, club tournaments, JO weekends, and the end-of-season banquet. Position field accepts OH, MB, RS, S, L, DS — or the spelled-out version. 2.5″ × 3.5″ trading-card size, 3.5″ × 5″ frame size, 9-up team sheets for the whole roster.
Volleyball is the sport with the strongest senior-night culture in youth athletics. The seniors get one home night, the parents get the slow walk to center court, and the team gets a printed program with everyone's photo. The cards belong in that program. Use them as the senior-night gift (Enlarged 3.5″ × 5″ in a 4×6 frame), as the program insert (Normal 2.5×3.5 stapled into the center spread), or as the post-banquet trade where every senior leaves with one card per teammate.
Club teams use them differently — JO weekends and USAV tournaments are card-swap heavy, especially at AAU national qualifiers. Position field accepts the codes (OH, MB, RS, S, L, DS) or the names (Outside Hitter, Middle Blocker, Right-Side Hitter, Setter, Libero, Defensive Specialist).
The night the cards are for
Senior night runs every fall — usually the second-to-last home match. The card is part of the gift bag. A short plan:
- One Enlarged 3.5″ × 5″ per senior. Action photo from the prior weekend's tournament — not picture day. Frame each card in a matching 4×6 frame so the gift line at center court reads as a coordinated set.
- A 9-up team sheet for the lobby. Print all the seniors on one sheet, frame it 16×20 with mat board, hang it in the lobby on senior-night week. Coaches inherit it for the program after.
- A signed-by-the-team back side. Run the senior-night cards through the printer twice (plain side up the second time) and let the underclassmen sign the back. Or skip the second print and let the team sign the white card stock around the edges.
- Co-coordinate with parents. Senior parents usually buy the flowers; the booster club usually prints the card. Confirm the photo source 2 weeks ahead so the team mom can frame everything before match night.
- Senior shirt + senior card combo. Some programs gift a senior shirt with the card pinned to it; others run the cards as a wall display in the cafeteria during the team dinner. The cards fit either way.
Volleyball position glossary
Volleyball positions are usually written as 2-3-letter abbreviations on rosters. The Position field on the card accepts any of these:
- OH — Outside Hitter (left-side attacker, primary scorer in most rotations)
- MB — Middle Blocker (center-of-net, runs quick attacks off the setter)
- OPP — Opposite (right-side hitter, often the team's strongest blocker)
- S — Setter (touches every ball, sets up attackers)
- L — Libero (defensive specialist, different jersey color, can't attack from in front of the line)
- DS — Defensive Specialist (back-row defender, doesn't serve, similar to libero without the jersey distinction)
For multi-position players: lead with the primary, e.g.OH/DS. For captains: Captain / OH reads cleaner thanOH / Captain. For club teams that play 6-2 or 5-1, the formation is sometimes added: OH (6-2).
