Returning Techs, please try to have your stuff in by the end of Sunday, Aug 25 so we can establish our Football and Inside Football crews before they start.
New Techs joining this fall have until shortly after the Kickoff to get their stuff in.
This year, almost all of our shoots will be crewed by a TechTeam. If you want to do shoots, the best thing is to sign up for a TechTeam. We'll have a few shoots you can sign up for individually. Those individual shoots will be the couple random ones on Monday and Saturday, and when there's multiple shoots on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Being on a Regular Crew (as opposed to just signing up for misc. shoots here and there) makes it a lot easier to plan your calendar, something that's nice for both you AND your parents. And, because you'll be working with the same people, you'll develop a deeper camaraderie, and grow together in your skills as a team.
If you are too busy for shoots this Fall, you can put yourself on the bench. When on the Bench, we won't pester you about shoots (unless we're really short on crew, or we think it's a good fit for you) but you'll still get our regular updates. When it comes time for Winter TechTeams we'll reach out to you again. Note: Techs who bench themselves for the fall, but expect to participate later in the year should still come to the Kickoff. So, if you bench yourself from the season you should still RSVP to the Kickoff
This is going to be our gold standard of how we do things, but we still want you around even if your schedule is absolutely crazy. If TechTeams just won't work for you, talk to us and we'll work something out.
Please, don't leave us hanging. Let us know one way or another!
TechTeams for the Fall either follow a sport, show, or day. They are:
Sign up for TechTeams by filling out your interest on the form linked below. We'll do our best to place you on the team(s) you want, but we can't promise anything. The quicker you respond, the more likely you'll get what you want!
About the Teams
Tuesday and Thursday TechTeams will cover any shoots on their respective days. On weeks without shoots, the team will either have a training night, help out with Ops at the BEC HQ, or something else. Or, if you've earned it, a night off.

Want to do a shoot that's not on your normal TechTeam? You can join the crew for a shoot not covered by your Team if you're; 1- Currently on a TechTeam, 2- Have been showing up regularly, 3- There is room on the crew.
A little bit of stuff is already on our Shoots Calendar. The rest will be added we get schedules from the schools and coaches. Check out what we've got so far HERE.
