Sports Coloring Pages

• Ball sports: a basketball jump shot, a volleyball spike and a tennis serve
• Field games: soccer, football and baseball equipment and players
• Water and ice: a swimmer diving off the block, a figure skater in a spin and a hockey goalie
• Gymnastics and track: a gymnast on the balance beam and a runner at the starting line
• Wheels and boards: a skateboarder on a ramp and a snowboarder in mid-air
• Equipment and awards: balls, a racket, swim goggles, a whistle, a medal and a trophy
• Adaptive sports: a wheelchair racer on the track

Kids who are new to a sport often ask how many players are on a team. These are the numbers on the field or court at one time, per side, in the standard version of each game.

• Basketball: 5
• Volleyball: 6
• Ice hockey: 6, including the goalie
• Baseball and softball: 9 in the field
• Soccer: 11, including the goalkeeper
• American football: 11
• Tennis: 1 in singles, 2 in doubles

Youth leagues often play with fewer so everyone touches the ball more.

Coaches and PE teachers can build a short lesson from these pages. Hand out the equipment collage and have kids match each item to its sport. Or print one player page per child, ask them to color the uniform in team colors and write a goal for the season on the back.

For a team party, print a set of the trophy page. Each player colors one and writes a teammate's name and one thing that teammate did well. It makes a better award than a plastic medal.
