Six ways to get it

Ask your coachMost varsity programs film every game for film study. Ask how players and families can get a copy of their own games.
Ask the booster club or school media teamMany schools have parents, students or a media class filming games and streams.
Ask the other teamCoaches often trade film with opponents, and families on the other side may have filmed the game too.
Film it yourselfA phone on a tripod, high in the stands, in landscape, recording the whole game, is enough for coaches.
Hire a videographerFor big games and showcases, a local sports videographer can film and edit for you.
Put the full game where coaches can find itUpload the whole game, then clip your best plays into a highlight reel and share one link.

Sit high and centered, use a tripod, film in landscape, lock focus and exposure, and record the whole game without stopping.

What should I do with my game film?
