How do I make a sports certificate online?

Use the generator on this page: the Sports design and a tournament line are set, so you add your school or club, the athlete, the event and the placing, then download a PDF or PNG. It costs nothing and needs no login.

Do all sports day participants get a certificate?

Many schools and clubs give winners a certificate of merit and every other entrant a participation certificate, so no child goes home empty-handed. Keep one design and change only the title and the line.

How do I make certificates for every member of a team?

Make one certificate per player: the team and its result go in the line under the name, and only the name changes. Paste up to 10 players as a CSV, once a day, and download one PDF with a page each; for a whole league, DynaPictures makes one per row of your spreadsheet.

How can I tell first, second and third place apart?

Write the placing in each certificate's line, and if you like set the accent colour to gold, silver or bronze so podium places stand out on the wall.

Which size should a sports certificate be?

A4 landscape or US Letter landscape for printing, A4 portrait if it goes into a folder, and the 2000×1414 PNG for posting results online.

What to put on a sports day certificate

Readers look for the event and the placing first, so put them in one line. Keep the house, team or age group if your results use them.

Element	What to write
Title	Sports Certificate, Certificate of Merit for placings, or Certificate of Participation for every other entrant.
Athlete's name	Full name, plus class or house for school events, so each certificate reaches the right child.
Event and placing	The event, the category and the result: First place, Under-14 Girls, 200 metres.
Organiser	The school, club or tournament that held the event, with its logo.
Date or season	The date of the sports day, or the season for a league or club award.
Signatories	The coach or PE teacher, and the principal or club chairperson.
