How common is it for a high school to film girls soccer games? My daughter is going to be a freshman at an FCIAC school this fall. I would be happy to film. Is it kosher for a parent to do this?

You didn't say why you were filming it? You make is sound like you are asking to film it for the school? If so, stay out of the coach's business. Let her or him take care of that if they feel it's necessary. Otherwise if it's for your daughter to provide clips of her to a college coach then you should be fine. Anything else, I'd say keep your video off, as it moves in to creep territory.

Varies by school since the cost is usually borne by the booster club not the school. Ours videos the "big" games and posts them online for kids to watch or use for a highlight reel. However, it tends to be a big field view and it might not always highlight your player well. Quality can vary too depending on who you hire. Parents videoing their kids isn't unusual, but not many parents are because on a typical HS team not that many are trying to get recruited. At top club games it can look like a presidential press conference there's so many cameras set up.

If your daughter plays for CFC, then they’ve got plenty of videos because they send them to all the D1 schools. That’s why they commit 100% of their kids ECNL/NPL, per cfc DB parents.

Oh...def not creep territory unless you are trying to film the locker room.
We have a guy who takes stills in college of my kid and her teammates. No one thinks he is a creep. Very appreciative of the images of thier kids doing what they do. No one films, because all the games are professionally filmed and video is shared with the players.

Question Man Responds
None of your schools have that automated camera system that films and links back to the NFHS website for live stream and replay of your school's athletic events? Wasn't there a big push in some of the high school conferences across the state to get onboard with that technology in the last couple of years? Weren't there some grants out there for schools to apply for?

I don’t get the feeling that many high schools film girls soccer games as a routine thing. Football - yes. Darien is great at filming many of its athletic events not just football.

Regardless of who pays, I don't think teams need to record every game anyway - do some of the more interesting games if the coach really is going to use it as a teaching tool, and give kids chances to clip some highlights if they want.

Why pay a service if a parent will do it for free? That assumes you actually have some skill and the video is clear. Coach may not use it, but he isn’t going to care if you post it and make available to all other players and parents.
