Within Game Time we
actively take photographs of the sessions, activity and events we
host. There is nothing more satisfying to players young and old,
than receiving recognition for their achievements through the
photographs we publish or the articles we produce. These methods can
also be powerful tools in driving our young talent forward. The
potential to be rewarded is a powerful incentive. In addition to
this it is also important that as a club we are able to promote our
activities and events as much as possible to attract new players,
raise the profile of the organisation, its clubs and the game in
general and to also increase the potential of attracting
sponsorship.
Game Time has one of the
best and most in depth basketball related web sites in the UK, which
is why it is so popular. We want to keep the content up to date and
exciting to view.
We are also well aware
of the potential risks regarding images and details of young people
under the age of 18 on websites or in the local media. There are
individuals in our society whose sole aim is to prey on young and
vulnerable people and we aim to protect our members as best as
we possibly can.
At any event, the
details of any photographer are available upon request. Photographs
and details will only be used for the sole purpose of promoting the
sporting activity or event.
All of our young
participants under the age of 18 are requested to complete a
parental permission form to allow photography of the individual. If
you have not yet signed a form, please request one.
