Photography Guidelines

No flash photography inside indoor venues.

Photographers using remote flash / strobe units at OSAA member schools should clear installation with athletic directors of OSAA member schools in advance of an event.
For use of units at OSAA state championship sites coordinated by the OSAA, please contact OSAA Director of Media Communications Nate Lowery, 503-682-6722 / natel@osaa.org.
Remote flash / strobe units should be used wherever possible.
Those utilizing on and off-camera flash / strobe units should avoid shooting directly into participants' eyes.

Designated Photography Locations

Note: The OSAA or contest officials may alter the following photography locations due to safety or to accommodate a specific facility.

Baseball / Softball

Designated areas along the first and third baselines (must be designated dead ball areas).

Basketball

Each end of the court. Set up at least 10 feet behind the end line. No flash photography.

Cheerleading

At least 10 feet off the competition mat and out of the direct line of the judges. No flash photography.

Cross Country

When shooting the start, photographers must give the field a minimum of 50 yards to allow for time to shoot and move off the course. Photographers may shoot from either side at the finish line in designated areas, but are not allowed in the race path.

Football

Sidelines except within the team boxes. Set up at least five yards behind the sideline.

Golf

Observe golf etiquette. Be aware of camera noise; shoot only after the ball is struck. Remain off greens, tee boxes and out of the fairway.

Soccer

Sidelines (except within the team boxes) and endlines between the 18-yard box and the corners of the field. Set up at least five yards behind the sideline or endline.

Swimming

Tennis

Either side of the net and the corners of the court. Do not change positions until the players have switched sides.

Volleyball

Set up to shoot at least 10 feet off the court. If shooting at the net, remain behind the officials and do not set up between adjacent courts. No flash photography.

Credential Policy

The OSAA Media pass is issued to persons requiring special access to cover OSAA member schools' activities and regularly generate original content (text, photography, audio, video) published by websites, radio and television stations and member schools in a timely basis. The decision to issue/revoke a media pass is at the sole and absolute discretion of OSAA.

  1. Considerations for issuing the OSAA Media Pass

    • Established coverage
    • Need for immediate news coverage
    • Demonstrated a record of consistent and sustained coverage of Oregon high school sports
    • Covers high school activities at least weekly in all three sports seasons (fall, winter, spring)
    • Regularly posts coverage to an established website besides social media accounts
    • Needs to be on site and have special access - press box, press room, press row, football sideline, basketball endline - to generate content for the purpose of news gathering, reporting or broadcasting
    • Provides media services for an OSAA member school and requested by the school's athletic director

  2. The following will not be issued an OSAA Media Pass

    • Personal social media accounts or personal page Internet site publishers not associated with a media company
    • Freelancers or stringers for whom a pass was not requested by an outlet's editor or director
    • Internet sites that solely list professional and college rank and recruiting prospect profiles
    • Commercial photography businesses, unless generating content regularly published by news media outlets and/or OSAA member schools
    • Companies that predominantly are skills / player development, individual client promotion and recruiting based
    • Those hired / assigned to specifically cover elite high school athletes, who, athlete themselves, relatives, or associates, are paying a fee for services
    • Scouts and coaches

  3. Grounds for Revocation

    • The OSAA reserves the right to revoke an OSAA Media Pass from a media representative it deems to be engaging in unprofessional or inappropriate behavior.
    • A media outlet granted the opportunity to request passes for its staff members, freelancers or stringers must assure all said individuals are lawful to work in the state of Oregon and in the proximity of schools and students. Failure to make this assurance will result in the immediate revocation of the outlet's media passes.

  4. Media Access

    • The OSAA operates under a closed locker room / dressing area policy at all events in the regular season and postseason. At no time will media representatives be granted this access. Administrators at schools hosting regular season and OSAA playoff events determine access policy. Access at OSAA championships final sites and semifinal sites in football is determined by OSAA staff.
    • Media representatives are not permitted to contact contest officials at any time during or after an OSAA event. This includes locker room / dressing area, area of competition and any area the official must pass.

Credential Request Form

This form is designed to allow you to request credentials in an efficient and timely manner. The person requesting credentials for additional media personnel is assuming responsibility for those who they request access for. Media outlets and Athletic Directors are able to request up to three credentials in the final section of this form. To request additional credentials, please email Nate Lowery, natel@osaa.org.
