Create Navy and Red Physical Education Teacher ID Card

Why the blood group matters on a sports badge

PE staff work in gyms, fields and swimming pools, so a card that carries a blood group and an emergency contact number is more useful than a plain name tag. The template has fields for blood group and contact number, as well as date of birth and gender, though you may leave out any detail your school does not want to print.

Fields

1. Name, qualification and ID number
2. Gender, date of birth, blood group and contact number
3. Expiry date of the card
4. Photo and school logo
5. Back: terms and conditions, a drawn signature, address, email, phone and website

Design notes

The navy background with red diagonals gives a team-kit look. Text on the dark areas is white, so the card stays legible after lamination. A thin barcode-like strip on the back adds to the look; it is a graphic, not a scannable code.

Issuing it responsibly

Only the school or club that employs the coach should issue and sign the card. Personal data such as blood group and date of birth should be entered only with the person’s consent, and the card should be kept safe.

A badge that suits the playing field

Physical education staff and coaches move between gyms, pitches and pools, often with visitors and parents around. A navy card with a bold red Teacher band reads clearly outdoors and looks sporty without being childish.

Issuing details

Fill in the ID number, expiry date and date of birth, upload a photo and logo, and write the terms for the back. Include the sport or team in the qualification text where it helps visitors, such as Football Coach, Level 2. A drawn signature from the head teacher or sports director finishes the back.

Wear and tear

Cards that swing around a neck during exercise get sweaty, so laminate them and use a lanyard with a safety breakaway. Keep a spare in the staff room, because a card dropped on the pitch is easy to lose, and replace it when the expiry date passes.
