Please be fully dressed in the game uniform when you arrive on Saturday. Team group photos will be taken at your posted arrival times (see schedule). Please arrive on time and report to the furthest end of the bleachers on the home side. These photos will be provided to you at no charge.

 

Note: Families are asked to be seated in the stands and not take photos while the photographer is working to limit distractions. The photos will be posted for free.

ACTION SHOTS - OPTIONAL

Throughout the games, the photographer will take action shots. A link will be provided the following week for you to browse and purchase photos of interest.

 

Note: These are random action shots and the photographer cannot guarantee your student-athlete will be captured on 10/7. If you have an interest in individual photos or want to book action shots for future games, please see the next section.

INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS - OPTIONAL

If you desire to purchase individual photos, you may arrange a time directly with the photographer. She has set aside the afternoon of 10/22 and 10/29.
