Good match media can preserve a real moment, help families follow the league, and build recognition for parish teams. Before submitting photos or video to Catholic Parish League Phoenix, confirm that the material is accurate, appropriate, and permitted for public use.
A useful submission gives the league enough information to understand what the media shows and whether it can be published responsibly. Sending an image does not automatically grant permission to use every person, logo, song, or venue shown in it.
Include the essential context
- The teams shown and whether the match or event was official.
- The date and field or venue, when confirmed for public release.
- The name of the photographer or videographer.
- A short, factual description of what is happening.
- Any known restrictions on use or people who should not be shown.
- Confirmation that the submitter has authority to share the file.
Choose material that serves people
Prioritize clear action, teamwork, sportsmanship, celebration, service, and community. Avoid images that humiliate an injured player, isolate a person in distress, expose private information, or turn a minor disagreement into spectacle.
A dramatic frame is not automatically the best representation of a match.
Do not add unsupported information
File names, captions, and messages should not guess a player’s name, position, parish, injury, or role. Do not label an image as a winning goal, penalty incident, or final result unless that information has been confirmed.
Technical preparation
Send the highest practical resolution available without repeatedly compressing the file. Keep an original copy. Horizontal, vertical, and square crops may all be useful, but the main subject should remain visible and the composition should leave room for accessible text when a graphic is created.
Video, music, and third-party rights
Do not submit copyrighted music, television footage, professional club marks, or content copied from another account unless the league has the right to use it. Short match clips still require the same attention to permission and context as photographs.
Next step
Submit media only through the league’s designated channel and keep the original file until publication questions are resolved.
