Organizations may hire Photographers and Videographers as they see fit, BUT, those hired must reach out to TYFA through the Application Form below, so that a Background check can be done on them before they take the field and are around the TYFA athletes. This is no different than the coaches etc. getting background checked.
Media Policy
Media Policy
Freelance and hired photographers who wish to attend TYFA events must apply to the league, be background checked and receive digital credentials they will show at venues they attempt to enter.
Major outlets like NBC, ESPN, CBS or local affiliates with credentials are exempt.
If a team or organization hires someone and does not get them cleared by TYFA, the organization will be charged with a Level II violation.
If a vendor has personnel at a venue that have been denied because of their background check, the vendor will be indefinitely suspended from being at TYFA events.
It is an organization's responsibility to make sure the vendor hired has their TYFA credentials and that none of their personnel are there illegally. Failure to do so and the organization could be charged with a Level II violation.

If hired media violate the area they can be in which is stipulated on their credentials given by TYFA, the host organization can eject them from the venue.
The same goes for their behavior. They are there to take video or pictures, not cheer on a player or team or badger the referees or anyone else.
If either of these is reported to TYFA, the vendor may lose their ability to be at TYFA events.
Any hired vendor trying to enter a venue without TYFA credentials can be denied by the host.
Hired media (except those hired by TYFA) are required to pay the gate fee unless the host chooses otherwise.
All hired media, TYFA's, freelancers and organization hired must seek out the main POC for the host and let them know they are there.
