Football Coloring Pages

Make free printable football coloring pages from 13 American football pictures we drew ourselves: a football with laces, a football helmet, a ball flying through the goal post, a ball on a kicking tee, a football field from above, a player running with the ball, a player throwing a pass, a player kicking off, a player leaping for a catch, a helmet, ball and cleat, a coach’s clipboard with a play drawn on it and a whistle, a field under the stadium lights and a big simple football for little ones. Every picture is our own drawing, with no team or league names, logos, decals, numbers or real players, so children can color in their own team’s colors. Print one big picture on a page, a grid of four or six small ones, a game-day scene with the goal post, a ball on a tee and a helmet, a fold-in-half card, or a football mandala with small footballs round the edge and a new pattern at the press of a button. Blank helmets to decorate prints 1, 2, 4 or 6 plain helmets with a face cage and no stripe, so children can design their own team look; one fills a 186 mm square on US Letter. Type a child’s name for a name page, or paste a team or class list to get the same picture for everyone with each name at the top. Choose simple, medium or detailed lines, never thinner than 0.5 mm. Download one multi-page PDF for US Letter or A4, a 300 DPI PNG of every page, or an SVG. No sign-up, no watermark.
