Taking and uploading images

A digital SLR is ideal, however, some of our best shots have been taken with high-quality smartphones which are always to hand and easy to use.

LANDSCAPE IMAGES ARE BEST making sure the subject matter is in the middle and in the case of team shots there is enough space either side above and below. Please then crop to the required size (see below)

Photographic example

Due to the volume of images being submitted please name each image as follows: (2022-23) + (Team/age group) + (Match/Event) + (Date 00-00-22) + (Image number). So it should look like this:  2022-23 U16 v Painswick 06-11-22 1

Please crop images before you upload.

  • Website images: 1800 (high) X 1200 (wide) px (pixels)
  • Facebook normal images: 940 x 788 px
  • Instagram images: 1080 x 1080 px
  • Witter mages: 1200 x 675 px

Please have images full bleed (to the edge) rather than including any borders etc.

The best and easiest image creation/cropping tool is CANVA which has a phone and desktop app. There is a FREE version and WE CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO USE CANVA VIA ZOOM.

You can upload images directly from your smart phone using this form, alternatively, you might find it easier to transfer images to your PC, Laptop, Applemac then use this form on there.

One image per channel is fine however we can add up to 4 images per channel.
