Interview Guidelines

Back to Staff Hub
Content Capture

INTERVIEW & CONTENT CAPTURE

One or two questions, a quote, and a photo. A simple way to capture the people behind the game.

When we are out in the community, the people we meet are the story. A ball bin drop, a coaching course, a club visit, they all give us a chance to hear directly from the people the game is built around. Capturing that well takes about two minutes.

What to Capture

1

Ask one or two questions

Open-ended questions give people room to answer in their own words. One or two is usually plenty. Let them finish the thought before moving on.

2

Write down what they said

Capture it word for word rather than paraphrasing, along with their full name and their role or club. We cannot publish a quote without knowing who said it.

3

Take one good photo

A single strong photo beats a dozen rushed ones. The person with whatever the story is about, horizontal when possible, decent light. A phone camera is fine.

Questions That Work

Community Ball Bin

  • How do you think this ball bin will help your community?
  • Who do you expect will get the most out of it?

Coaching Education

  • What is one thing from this course you will use at practice next week?
  • What made you want to get licensed?

Club Visit

  • What is your club most proud of this season?
  • What has changed for your players over the past year?
Always ask permission. Confirm the person is comfortable with their name, quote, and photo being used by NCYSA before you leave. If a minor appears in the photo, get a parent or guardian’s approval.

What to Send

Email to Keri

  • The photo at full size, not a screenshot
  • The quote exactly as it was said
  • Full name, role, and club or town
  • Date and location
  • Confirmation that you have permission to use it
Why it is worth the two minutes: one photo and one quote is enough for a post. Several of them become a reel, a grant application, or a page on this site. Without a name and permission, none of it can be used.
