Professional athlete portraits. Team branding. And a picture day they’ll actually have fun at.

FSP Sports Media Days are designed for school athletic programs and travel or club teams that want more than the traditional stand-there-and-smile picture day.

We create professional sports portraits that show off each athlete’s personality while also giving teams clean, consistent images they can use throughout the season for social media, game-day graphics, player highlights, recruiting and team branding.

Choose between our Full Media Day experience or a streamlined Mini Media Day depending on the age of your athletes, size of your team and the type of images you need.

Short on time? Here's the skinny. You can keep scrolling for all the details:

FSP Sports Media Days are built for school, travel and youth sports teams that want professional athlete portraits without the boring picture-day feel. Full Media Days are $75/player and include multiple individual poses, two finished background options, player headshots, buddy shots, a composited team photo and all finished digital images. Mini Media Days are $55/player and include a shorter session with 3–4 planned poses, one pose of the athlete’s choice, one finished background and all digital images. Full-team participation is required for standalone Media Days, and your team will need to provide an indoor location large enough for our setup.

$75 per athlete - Full team participation is required.

Our Full Media Day is the complete FSP Sports experience and is our best option for high school teams, travel teams and programs that want a full collection of individual athlete portraits, headshots, team imagery and buddy shots.

What Media Day Looks Like

Plan for approximately 1½–2 hours with the entire team.

We start with each athlete moving through a series of pre-planned individual sports poses designed specifically for their team and sport.

Once individual photos are complete, we finish with everyone's favorite part:

Buddy Shots.

The final approximately 10-20 minutes of the session are set aside for athletes to have some fun.

Players can jump in for additional individual photos or grab teammates for buddy shots and group combinations.

Best friends. Seniors. Position groups. Teammates.

This is where they get to bring the personality.

Your Full Media Day Includes

• All finished digital images
  Athletes receive their finished Media Day images digitally through a shareable team gallery.
  
  
• Two finished background options: Each athlete's individual images are delivered on:
  One background selected to complement the team's uniform and branding & 
  One clean white background
  The white version gives teams an easy-to-use image for creating graphics such as schedules, player spotlights, senior recognition, game-day posts and other team media.

• Individual 1:1 player headshot on white
  Each athlete also receives a clean square headshot that works beautifully for team websites, rosters, player graphics, recruiting profiles and social media.
  
  
• Buddy shots
  The Full Media Day includes our buddy-shot portion at the end of the session so athletes can take photos with teammates and friends.
  
  
• Composited team photo
  Instead of relying on one giant group photo where somebody inevitably blinks, each athlete is photographed individually and combined into a professionally designed team image.
  
  
• Coach headshots
  1:1 coach headshots can also be photographed upon request.
  
  
• Personal-use image license
  Digital image purchases include a personal-use license provided by email.
  Images may be used and printed for personal purposes according to the terms of the FSP Sports usage license. Commercial use requires separate permission or licensing. More detailed information HERE.

$55 per athlete (available as an add on, or full team participation)

A streamlined Media Day for younger or secondary teams.

Our Mini Media Day gives athletes the FSP Sports Media Day look in a shorter, simplified session.

It's a great fit for freshman teams, younger teams — especially athletes under approximately age 10 — and programs that don't need the full buddy-shot experience.

Standalone Mini Media Days require full-team participation. 

Mini Media Days may also be scheduled as an add-on to another team's Full Media Day, in which case participation can be limited to the athletes who have registered and paid.

What Mini Media Day Looks Like

Plan for approximately one hour of photography.

Each participating athlete will receive:

• 3–4 pre-planned sports poses

• 1 individual pose of their choice

Mini Media Days are focused on individual athlete photography and do not include the buddy-shot portion offered during our Full Media Days.

Your Mini Media Day Includes

All finished digital images

Athletes receive their finished images through a shareable team gallery.

One finished background

Individual images are delivered on one professionally designed background selected to complement the team's uniform and colors.

Composited team photo

A composited team photo is included only when the entire team participates in the Mini Media Day.

Personal-use image license

A usage license is provided by email with the athlete's digital images. More information on licenses HERE.

This is the best fit for teams wanting:

• More pose variety

• Recruiting-friendly athlete images
• A longer, more relaxed Media Day & team bonding experience

Full Media Day: $75/player

Choose the Mini Media Day if you want a shorter, simplified individual portrait session.

This is a great option for:

• Younger teams
• Freshman or secondary teams
• Teams that don't need buddy shots
• Programs looking for a lower-cost Media Day option

Mini Media Day: $55/player
(reminder that standalone mini media days require full team participation)

We've made the process pretty simple.

1. Your Team Chooses a Media Day

The coach, team manager or other point of contact reaches out to FSP Sports to select the Media Day option and coordinate a date.

2. Send Us Your Team Roster

Once the team decides to book, we'll need a current player roster so we can prepare for the session.

3. Parents Receive the Registration & Payment Link

FSP Sports will provide the team's point of contact with a registration link to share with families.

Parents will use that form to submit their athlete's information and complete payment.

4. Registration Closes Before Media Day

Unless other arrangements have been made with FSP Sports, payments must be completed at least 24 hours before the scheduled Media Day.

This gives us time to finalize the roster and prepare the photography workflow before we arrive.

5. Show Up Ready for Media Day

We'll direct the athletes through the poses.

They don't need to know what to do.

That's our job.

They just need to show up ready to have some fun.

What Kind of Space Do We Need?

FSP Sports Media Days are photographed indoors so we can maintain consistent lighting and image quality throughout the entire team.

Your team is responsible for providing the indoor location, although we can definitely help suggest locations.

As a general rule, we need a space no smaller than a typical batting cage so there is enough room for our photography equipment, the athlete and the posing area.

Gyms, indoor athletic facilities, batting cages and similar open spaces are usually great options.

Not sure whether your location will work?

Send us a photo or the approximate dimensions and we'll help you figure it out before Media Day.

What Are Media Day Photos Used For?

FSP Sports Media Day images are created with today's athletes and teams in mind.

Depending on your package and image usage license, these images are great for:

• Athlete social media
• Team social media
• Game-day graphics
• Player spotlights
• Team schedules
• Senior recognition
• Recruiting profiles
• Athlete announcements
• Team websites and rosters
• Personal prints and keepsakes

For older athletes especially, professional sports portraits can become part of the content they use to build their athlete brand and recruiting presence throughout the season.
