The fastest-growing sport in high school athletics deserves a senior night gift that matches its momentum
Flag football is one of the fastest-growing sports in the high school athletic landscape. With programs launching across the country and an increasing number of states adding flag football as a sanctioned sport, the athletes who competed in the earliest high school flag football programs are the pioneers of a sport that is still building its tradition. Senior night for a flag football player deserves the same recognition, the same ceremony, and the same quality of keepsake as any other varsity sport. Make-A-Ball is here to serve that moment.
A custom football from Make-A-Ball is the senior night gift for flag football players that honors the sport specifically. Full-size, printed with the player's photo, number, position, and a personal inscription. The football is the object the sport is built around, personalized for the player who competed with it. Flag football may not use tackles, but the athleticism, the route running, the quarterback skill, and the defensive coverage game demand the same level of physical and mental commitment as any contact sport. The gift at senior night should reflect that.
Because flag football is a newer high school sport in many states, the senior night traditions are still being established. For many flag football programs, the senior recognition ceremony is the first of its kind at that school. Make-A-Ball can serve programs at any stage of that tradition-building, from a single player whose family wants to honor their career to a full senior class order for a program with 30 seniors and an established recognition ceremony. No minimum order. Ships in 7-10 business days from proof approval.
Over 54,000 five-star reviews from families, coaches, and programs across every sport. Read what they say.

What Flag Football Families Say
First senior night for our flag football program
"Our school just launched flag football two years ago and this was the first senior class. I wanted something that treated it like the real varsity sport it is. The custom football did exactly that. The girls were so proud and the parents were blown away."
Coach Maria S., Flag Football
She loved every detail
"My daughter is a quarterback for her flag football team and I had her throwing motion photo put on the ball with her number and a message from our family. She keeps it on her desk. It looks like a real varsity trophy, because it is one."
David K., Flag Football Parent
Great quality, perfect for the occasion
"Flag football doesn't always get the same recognition as other sports. This gift changed that for our senior night. Every parent commented on how great the balls looked and how meaningful it was to have something specifically for the players."
Tina A., Flag Football Booster Club

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Footballs
How long does a custom football take to ship?
Standard orders ship in 7-10 business days (that's our normal production) from our Baltimore, MD facility. Rush production is available for time-sensitive orders like senior night and championship games — contact us for rush pricing and availability before placing your order.
Can I put multiple photos on a single football?
Yes. Our designer supports single-photo, multi-photo collage, full-team roster layouts, and senior portrait + action shot combinations. Most senior night and team gift orders include 2-6 photos along with names, numbers, and dedication text.
What size is a full-size custom football?
Our full-size custom footballs are official regulation size. We also offer medium footballs — perfect for desk display, lower-cost team-wide gifts, signed-by-teammates keepsakes, and stocking-stuffer-sized awards.
Are these usable footballs or display-only?
Our custom footballs are designed primarily as photo keepsakes and display items. The Custom Image Technology print is built to last for decades on display, but regular game use will wear the surface over time. For game balls, we recommend separate regulation play balls and reserve the custom photo football for the keepsake moment.
Do you offer team discounts on bulk orders?
Yes. Orders of 5 or more receive a 20% team discount, automatically applied at checkout. For larger team-wide and booster-club orders, contact us for custom pricing on programs of 25 or more.
How does the design and proof process work?
For all orders, our design team creates your artwork within 24 hours of purchase and emails you a digital proof for approval before production begins. This includes custom club crests, logos, names, and any fully custom layouts. Revisions are included at no additional cost until you’re completely satisfied with the design.
