Picture Day plan
- If possible, prior to picture day, please order you pictures through the online link above (Pictures can also be order on picture day)
- Arrive 10 minutes early for your team's picture day timeslot (see picture day schedule)
- Players should wear their full uniform including socks and shin guards. It is best if players arrive not wearing cleats or take them off outside before coming in (Feet will not be visible in the individual pictures which are taken first)
- When you arrive, players should go inside the Brook Haven gym to check-in (They don't have to wait for their whole team).
- We ask that parents please wait outside (We do understand some younger kids may not feel comfortable coming in alone)
- If parents have a question about ordering or need an order form, etc. they are welcome to come to the front desk. There will be information posted.
- Players will follow instructions to take individual photos inside the Brook Haven gym (this is when Buddy pictures will also be taken)
- Players will be directed outside to take team photos
- Parents can meet their player behind the gym near the turf field
- Cleats can be put on once players have left the gym
- After individual photos have been taken inside and team photos outside, you are all done!
Frequently Asked Questions
What pictures are being taken? Players will take individual pictures inside the Brook Haven gym and then move outside to take a team photo. Families can also purchase a "Buddy picture" for two or more people, just be sure to let them know when you check-in that you purchased this.
How early should players be asked to arrive prior to the photo start time? 10 Minutes
How do the families order photos? Use the prepay order link, flyers, or paper order form that can be printed. There will also be printed order forms on site and they can scan and order the day of as well.
What should the players wear? Players should wear full uniform including socks & shin guards and bring cleats for the team photo (if they have a special ball they are welcome to bring it for photos)
Can players wear their cleats inside the gym? NO cleats in the gym (feet will not be showing in their individual photos). Cleats can be put on outside when they go for their team photo though as feet will show in the team photo.
How long does the whole process take? Pictures shouldn't take more than about 25 minutes (as long as their teammates are all on time)
What happens if the coach can't be there on picture day? All players are strongly encouraged to still come to their individual photos taken during their scheduled time. Coaches will then be able to reach out to Hawkes Photography to coordinate a time to make up the team photo.
When do I get my photos? To make things easier for parents and reduce shipping costs, Hawkes will be organizing the photo orders by coach and deliver them to the league to be distributed at the Harvest Cup tournament. Digital images will be sent out to families sooner.
Coach Information for Picture
- Prior to picture day, make sure to mark your picture day timeslot on TeamSnap (see the picture day schedule).
- On picture day, coaches should wear their coach shirts and bring the team banner (on the stand) to use for the team photo.
- If coaches are not able to attend picture day, they are strongly encouraged to have as many of their players come to have their individual photos taken during their scheduled time. After picture day, coaches can then reach out to Hawkes Photography at hawkesschools@yahoo.com to schedule a time to come to our studio for a make-up/team photo session.
- Pictures will be organized by team and distributed to coaches at the Harvest Cup who will then distribute the pictures to the individual players. Sponsor plaques will also be distributed at this time to coaches.
