Why it matters

Stop settling for generic trophies that gather dust.

Your athlete gave everything to that floor; give them a gift that holds every season of it forever.

At Collage and Wood, we make custom, American-made photo collages cut in the shape of the ball they played with. While sporting goods stores offer mass-produced plaques, we create one-of-a-kind tributes that celebrate every game of their high school career.

Don’t let the last game pass without a proper celebration.

Who’s behind it

Built by someone who’s been on both sides of senior night

Crystal Waddell, Raeford, NC

Crystal lost her own season.

An ACL injury ended her basketball career junior year, and for a while it took her identity with it too. She went on to coach volleyball for years after, twice named Region Coach of the Year, and watched other athletes hit that same wall. She knows exactly what senior night is closing the book on.

She builds for the parent, not just the wall.

Every order gets a real reply from Crystal, not a template response. She knows what it feels like to not be seen, and she doesn’t want any parent ordering this to feel like just a transaction.

Coaches and programs trust her too.

Collage and Wood works directly with coaches and athletic directors outfitting senior night for a whole roster, not just one family. Reach out if you’re ordering for a team.

More about this piece

Where a Basketball Collage Ends Up

Every season on the floor, kept.

Most senior night keepsakes get looked at once and then live in a closet. A ball collage does not. Parents hang it in the living room, seniors take it to their dorm, and coaches keep them on the program wall.

Every photo inside is one you chose: the first youth season, the top of the key, warm-up lines, and the last walk off the floor with family.

  • ✦Cut in the shape of a basketball from half-inch painted plywood, with the sides and back finished in black.
  • ✦Two sizes: 15 inch for a shelf or banquet table, 24 inch for center-court presentations and the wall after.
  • ✦Proofed before we cut, so the senior night family photo lands where you want it.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you’re wondering about

How long does it take?+

You’ll receive a digital proof within 3 business days of checkout. Once you approve it, we cut, sand, finish and ship. About three weeks from approval to your door.

Will I see the design before it’s cut?+

Always. We build your collage digitally and send you a proof to approve first. We don’t cut the wood until you are 100% satisfied with the layout.

What if I don’t love the first design?+

Just ask for changes. Three complimentary revisions are included, so we keep adjusting until it’s right.

What photos should I send, and how many?+

JPG, PNG or HEIC files, between 1MB and 10MB each so they print sharp. Plan on 30 photos for the 15 inch size. Send them in any order; Crystal arranges them digitally in Photoshop. Watermarked photos need a photo release from the photographer before we can use them.

Which balls can you make?+

Soccer ball, basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, tennis ball and football, each in 15 inch and 24 inch.

Can my collage include every year my senior played?+

Yes, that’s the idea. Send photos from every season, youth league through varsity, and we’ll fill the ball with all of them.

What is it actually made of?+

Each piece is precision-cut from durable 1/2 inch thick painted plywood. The sides and back are painted black, and every edge is hand-sanded in Raeford, NC by a Navy veteran.

Do the collages come ready to hang?+

Yes, every collage ships with hanging hardware included, so it’s ready to hang right out of the box.

Can you do a whole roster?+

Yes. Collage and Wood works directly with coaches and athletic directors outfitting senior night for a whole team. Reach out before you order so we can plan the timeline together.

The last game

What You Keep After the Final Game

Senior night is the one game nobody gets a second try at. The banner comes down, the winter season closes, and the floor goes quiet until next year.

What lasts is the part that was never on the scoreboard: the top of the key, warm-up lines, senior-night introductions. A ball collage gathers those photos into the ball they played with, so their entire career reads as one piece instead of a folder on somebody’s phone.

✦

Every season on the floor, kept.

Each one is cut from half-inch painted plywood, hand-sanded in Raeford, NC by a Navy veteran, and proofed with you before a single cut is made. It hangs in a living room, moves to a dorm, and still looks right ten years after the last game.

Built for center-court presentations and every wall after.
