Now that team lists are being confirmed, we are seeking volunteer/s from each team to be dedicated photographer for your team for the 2025 rugby season, for us to be able to share photos of every team on social media etc after every Sat game. We do need your help as it’s not possible for the committee to be official photographer for every team every week. Just like there’s a manager and coach for each team, we need a photographer from each team please for the 2025 season.

You do not have to be a professional or have a fancy big zoom camera. If photography is your hobby or profession and you have the equipment please please take game day shots, and send us photos weekly. We are NOT expecting professional level photos, even an iPhone works great – just some from each team’s game that we can share on socials (Insta and FB).

 What we need from you:

• Someone from each team to put their hand up to be official weekly photographer
• Take your shots
• Send them to
  • “Marist Rugby Club – Canberra” FB messenger chat OR
  • “Marist Rugby Canberra” Instagram chat OR
  • socialmedia@maristrugby.com

• • by no later than the WED of the week after the game. Ideally by the Sun or Mon if possible.
• Select 20 of your favourites for that game and send only those to the above – Insta is now able to post 20 photos at a time. (We unfortunately don’t have the capacity time wise to trawl through 200+++++ game photos per team after a Sat game (there are 19+ teams to select best photos and we try to post photos within a few days of game day…) – so your selecting 20 faves for us will be GREATLY APPRECIATED.)
• Also (optional if you have it) send a dropbox/other cloud based storage link if you prefer to share your top 20 photos per game with us that way
  • please also share the full LINK of all photos with the team manager to share with parents/ boys as we know they love to see their photos after each game.
• You can also send a quick video clip (from your phone) only if you/another parent has taken one (please limit these to 1-2 max per game e.g. team running on, special try/ conversion, winning war cry at end)
  • this comes through best via a storage/dropbox link OR via whats app (Kim 0487 655 479).
  • sending videos via FB messenger can sometimes be a bit blurry – if you do try via messenger, I will let you know if transmission quality comes through poor or OK.
• When sending through any photos/ vids:
  • please send in one go (not some today and some in a few days time/later that week, as the post will go up pretty speedily)
  • please provide Team name, game date and who played (eg Marist U13 Sky, 24 April, vs Eddies U13 Blue) so we know  (we can’t guess)
  • please include some info (para of info about game) if you have some blurb to add for the post (purely optional)
  • please provide the final score.
  • name of person who took photos/ vid (if not you)

All info you provide upfront helps us greatly as we have 19+ teams to post for every week.

 If you’re unable to attend a game, please let your Team Manager know early and be sure to allocate someone else in your team to take photos and get them to us after the game.

Please send an email to socialmedia@maristrugby.com by 1 May indicating your interest in being your team’s photographer for the season:

• Team (eg U11 Sky)
• Your Name
• Email
• Phone no

Thank you so much in advance for helping ensure all our wonderful teams get a feature on socials in 2025  Team work makes the dream work!
