Football Roster Template (Free Printable)
July 10, 2026
Before the first practice you need one thing organized above all else: who is on your team and how to reach their parents. This free football roster template keeps players, jersey numbers, positions, and emergency contacts on a single page you can keep in your bag.
What is on it
Columns for jersey number, player name, position, grade or age, parent or guardian, phone, and an emergency contact — everything you need on the sideline in a pinch. Print a copy for your clipboard and one for each assistant.
Why a live roster beats paper
Paper is great for game day, but contact info changes and kids get added or moved. A live roster in the free My-Team Sports app keeps everyone's info current, lets parents update their own details, and ties into your schedule and availability so you always know who is coming.

Frequently asked questions
What information should a football roster include?
At minimum: player name, jersey number, position, and a parent contact plus an emergency number. Grade or age helps with league eligibility and grouping.
How many players do you need for a youth football team?
It depends on your league's format, such as 9-on-9 or 11-on-11. Most programs carry several substitutes beyond the starters, so many youth teams roster around 16 to 25.
