if you
have a story to share, we want to read it.
What is your editorial policy? What
are your submission guidelines?
There are just a few guidelines to keep in mind. One major fact is unless it
is an extraordinary situation, we do NOT allow the use of unnamed sources.
If an unnamed source is required, the story must be cleared by our editor
prior to submission. Much of our work is subjective, as we encourage our
writers to put themselves in their articles; however when hard reporting is
called for, that's what we give you: sources should be named, and multiple
sources will be required in the rare case where they are not.

Do you have a newsletter?
Yes! Our newsletter is called The Amateur Sports Update, is published every
month and features topical original commentary, trivia, jokes, news about
events and contest, and lots more when we are in between our printed
version.
Do you have a Amateur Sports store?
We are working very hard to bring this to the forefront... So right now,
it's coming soon! If you would like to know when it's available,

Do you offer a Podcast? When / Where
can I hear it?
Yes, we do have a Podcast. In fact, we have two separate shows right now:
Monday evenings - "the week that was," which reflects on the week of local
sports (i.e., recaps, interviews, stories, scores, etc...), and Tuesday

and publication focuses on kids in a positive, upbeat manner. Simply put we
provide a non-bias media venue to showcase student-athletes achievements on,
as well as off the field of play. So, we are not entirely about sports
but about kids participating in sports.
