Not at all off topic. When it comes to video taping games where the participants happen to be minors there is no one size fits all answer. There are many variables and it could be a complex question.
I was wondering about that. I need to dig in a bit on our state laws. I've never had anyone argue about filming, but it's probably only a matter of time.
I am kind of a sarcastic a-hole, but my response would have been.."here's my cell phone number, have the league president call me and I want a picture or copy of the league rules prohibiting videoing the game. Until that happens, f-off".
HC definitely said that they were going to video the players during games for review to show them what they need to work on, errors in games etc. That's as far as it got. Recording never happened.
Sorry to stray off topic.
So does that mean that in those two states no HS football games are taped? Or do both schools have to have permission from the parents on the other team to record?
We go-pro every single game and have not had anyone say anything to us about it. Our coaches use it for training so it's been really helpful. Now on the other hand, we did have a coach this weekend lose his mind over a call and he pitched the biggest toddler fit I have ever seen in A ball. He ended up getting thrown out when it looked like he was about to fight the ump so maybe some of these guys don't want stuff like this out there? When you are watching the game you miss things but when you can review that video over and over and also put it in slo-mo, you really catch some crazy stuff and video doesn't lie!
