Our Commitments

At Backfield Media, our mission is simple: put athletes first, tell authentic stories, and serve our communities with integrity. To uphold this, we commit to:

• Athlete-First Coverage
  Every story, feature, and highlight reel is created to showcase athlete performance, development, and impact.

• Unpaid Services for Athletes, Trainers, and City Officials
  Spotlights, motivational reels, and community event coverage are always provided at no cost — ensuring access and recognition are never barriers.

• Professional Standards
  Whether in the studio, on the field, or in spaces where athletes and trainers are present, our team maintains a professional and approachable presence. Dress, conduct, and coverage reflect respect for athletes of all levels, including underage players.

• Independence & Collaboration
  Backfield Media operates independently while engaging in strategic collaborations with sponsors, schools, teams, and community partners. On-field, if credentialed under another outlet, we respectfully represent them. Once under our own passes, we represent ourselves fully as Backfield Media.

• Content Ownership & Tagging

  • Content tagged with schools or official team accounts is considered part of their representation.

  • Content tagged with collaborator outlets (e.g., Sportsplug757) is considered part of their representation.

  • All other coverage, unless tagged, is owned and represented solely by Backfield Media.

• Sustainability Through Apparel & Sponsorships
  Our apparel line and brand partnerships help fund these commitments, ensuring that unpaid athlete and community coverage remains possible.
