Here is today's big volleyball problem, which is not unique to vball but whatever. I don't mind if the players are holding volleyballs in ways that defy gravity. I don't care that they are lined up in a flying V or action poses, or other formation. I don't care if they are standing around a giant sign with their school name in case we didn't know what school we were looking at. I don't care if they are draped over a giant statue of the school mascot (I think 5 is the record I have seen for players on a horse).
But it drives me crazy when you can not see the numbers on all the players!
Sure, Lexi Sun doesn't even need a number on her jersey, but in most cases it is helpful. Drop the elbows, sweep the hair back, so somebody besides your immediate family knows it's you, and can put a name with your face.

You should give examples of each of the things you don't care about. |

If we're talking pet peeves re. team pictures, here's mine:
1. I hate it when there are NO captions or other indicators of who everyone is in each row.
2. I hate it when all the coaches/staff are NOT identified. Often, it's that poor student assistant or the assistant athletic trainer who makes it into the photos but are not identified in the captions.
3. I hate it when the team name and their city/state info are NOT given. This is mostly applicable for prep club teams. What the EFF is "TAB 18 Black"? Specify as follows: Team Al Bundy 18 Black, Chicago, IL.
4. I hate it when the event is NOT identified. Again, this is mostly for club events. The traveling roster changes from event to event, so I want to know the name of the event, Date(s), City, State.
5. I hate it when the date of the photo is NOT given.

Nobody understands this. (I should say, I don't understand this.) |

I've always been partial to the outtakes, where like half the team is ready for the photo while half the team isn't.  |

Yeah, it may not have been the best team picture, but the backdrop is saying Visit San Diego Now! |
