College Volleyball Photo Shoot Day
Let's Go Behind The Scenes To See!
Watch The Fun During
Collegiate Media Day Picture Sessions
College volleyball photo shoot day.
Its the one day before preseason competition begins, that you get to put makeup on, do your hair and come to practice...really pretty, why?
Most NCAA volleyball teams hold media day hosted by the university's sports information department where team, individual player and small group pictures are taken for posters, autographing signing sessions, team calendars and more.
Mini videos of the girls are taken of them jumping, celebrating or smiling for the camera, which are then used on social media, and inserted in the team's hype videos and volleyball intro videos which are played during the team introductions before each match.
The sports information department at each school uses these player and team pictures and mini videos to produce tweets, GIFs, Pinterest Pins and on the 'gram,
- to promote an upcoming game
- important match
- to notify fans when and which player scores a point
- player announcements like birthdays and
- Player of the Week winners
