HubCap: Where's your Pee-Wee football pics?
Contributed by: Brendan Leonard/YourHub.com   on 9/25/2006

How do you get your kid's pee-wee football team some publicity?

Ask Shannon Brewton. He takes photos at the Fury's Thornton Junior Football League games and posts them on the Thornton YourHub.com site. Is he a professional photographer? No. (But he got 23 photos that were better than ones I would have taken.) Team dad? Yes.

Take a closer look at some of the photos Shannon posted and you'll notice a familiar-looking guy in them: YourHub.com Editor Travis Henry. Turns out his skills in coaching a team of 7-year-olds are well honed during the week when he lords over the YourHub.com newsroom.

Do photos of the Fury get special treatment because Travis is the head coach? Absolutely not. I think he just kept bugging team parents to post photos until someone stepped up.

What exactly do you have to do to put your photos up on YourHub.com? Just register and post away. I'm the wrong person to ask for any sports photography tips, but I'll tell you what I know: If you take enough photos, a few of them are bound to come out all right. And any of them could end up in our community print sections, delivered on top of the Rocky Mountain News and The Denver Post every Thursday.

Here are a few YourHub.com users who've got it figured out:

Marti Osenbaugh, of Thornton, seems to have Adams County youth soccer covered pretty well. She's posted photos of the Thornton SoccerFest U10 champions, and the fellow first-place winners the Aguilas and the Strikers.

Alonzo Gonzales let everyone know when the Thornton Storm 10-and-under baseball team won the state championship in Breckenridge last summer. Check out his story here.

Amber Lena, of Highlands Ranch, brings unique expertise in the sport of twirling to the table. Check out her story about a young twirler from Centennial here.

What are you waiting for? Post a team picture and let us know how your boys and girls are doing.

I was never issued my YourHub.com helmet. I prefer a simple Penn State style. Thanks.
