p.1 #1 · NCAA Div III Basketball question

Did some searching including here @ FM and was wondering if there was an NCAA rule against flash photography for basketball. I was hoping to use some off camera strobes if possible. The lighting in our gym is horrific even ISO1600 & F 2.8. I usually have to go to 3200 (on a 20D) which of course is extremely noisy.

thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

To give people an idea I'm attaching a few pics from the last game. (My first)

I'm shooting Div II and shoot at 3200ISO. Here is a look at the game this week.

I would contact the school coach and athletic director for permission.

I can't imagine that there would be a problem as long as you're not flashing into the players' eyes. The XL Center in Hartford is alive with flashes all through UConn women's games.

They don't look too bad to me. Maybe a tad underexposed but that's about it (I'm sure there's some noise in there as well but it was very noticeable at that small size). I know D1 lets use strobe, but I guess that's not that helpful for you. I would just ask the school.

Thanks everyone. I work for the school so permission on that end should be pretty straight forward. If Div I allows strobes I'm sure Div III does as well.. Thanks for helping!
