Not as easy as that.
Some states have laws that make it illegal to videotape minors without parental consent. Then there are also issues with how the videotape will be used that could push this to an invasion of privacy. It's really a State by State analysis on whether something like this is legal or not.
BTW, I know you're in Georgia. Georgia (and New Jersey) have laws that makes it illegal for anyone other than a parent to videotape minors without parental consent.
NO. They are in public and not in a classroom. Think about what you just said. If it were true, not one parent could have a camera at a game. There could never be a news reporter at a game taking photos. The local TV station could never cover a HS Basketball game or football game. I would demand the rules from your league. I would also go straight to the AD to complain and ask for his/her help. You can video tape your team at any time.
