Girls Basketball Posing Guides

Our Girls Basketball Posing Guide is designed to help photographers keep their next basketball league, school, T&I, or media day photo shoot organized, consistent and moving efficiently from athlete to athlete!

We've created a complete posing system that can be used right out of the box or customized in minutes. 

Want to get started right away? You'll receive 17 ready-to-print posing guide designs featuring 9 and 12 pose versions in 18x24, 20x30 and 24x36 sizes, plus two retractable stand designs - making it easy to pick the display method that you prefer.

Want a more customized look? We've also included links to the Canva templates for all 17 layouts, 14 blank drag-and-drop Photoshop templates, PLUS 193 basketball player images! You can also customize your guides by adding your own logo, changing the heading, fonts and colors, rearranging the poses, swapping in different poses, or replacing our basketball athlete images with your own.

The basketball poses are intentionally grouped to help create an efficient posing flow, including separating poses with and without a basketball whenever possible. This makes it easier to move quickly between poses without constantly handing the ball back and forth - especially helpful during high-volume shoots.

In addition to the poses featured on the ready-to-print guides, you'll find dozens of extra basketball posing ideas inside the athlete images folder. We've included a combination of traditional school and league photo day poses, more dynamic "media day" style poses, standing and kneeling options, and several poses featuring the American flag and a crown:

Simply swap your favorites into any of the included Canva or Photoshop templates to create a posing guide that works perfectly for whatever you are shooting!
