for the Coach: Select
a photographer (probably the person who owns the camera) and a
anchor person to ask questions.
Break
the team into groups of 2 or 3
players. Take one group at a time to film. Have them state their name, age,
position and number if it applies. Then have them ask
each group two or three questions. You may need to adjust your questions based on the age of your
kids. Examples:
Why is your coach special?
Where was your favorite tournament?
What is the funniest thing that your coach ever did?
What is something that your coach has taught you to do?
What advise would you give your coach?
Why does you coach do to make practice fun?
What game was your favorite?
What is the funniest thing that happened this season?
What team is your arch rival?
Does the team have a special cheer that they do before the game -- be
sure to include it? Also include a group picture. If you
start in advance you can include footage from events that occurred
during the year. Let the kids be creative.
When your filming project
is complete you are guaranteed to leave the coach with a smile and the kids
will have a blast making it.
