Job Description

Role: Video Scout

Primary Responsibility: Capture high-impact video clips of top-performing athletes in real time at events, working closely with scouts and the social team to ensure the best plays make it to social quickly.
Location: On-site at Prep Hoops Events (Nationwide)

Schedule: Event-based / Weekends

The Event Video Content Specialist is a new role focused on capturing high-energy, short-form video content at Prep Hoops events. Unlike traditional videographers, this position is built for social—shooting dynamic vertical clips that spotlight Top Performers, big plays, and high-momentum moments for use on social.

You’ll work alongside scouts, social, and graphics teams to help bring the tournament atmosphere and standout athletes to life.

Key Responsibilities

  • Capture 10–20 second vertical clips of standout players in real time

     
  • Shadow courts where Top Performers are emerging (based on scout input or game flow)

     
  • Film highlight moments: dunks, threes, crossovers, big blocks, crowd reactions, etc.

     
  • Use Google Sheets for tracking and Slack for communicating withthe  social team

     
  • Organize and label clips by player name, jersey #, and team

     
  • Upload clips during or immediately after games to a shared folder

     
  • Collaborate with the Social Media and Graphics teams on real-time content needs

     
  • Assist with simple edits or trimming

     

What Success Looks Like

  • 30+ clean, social-ready vertical clips per event day

     
  • Consistent delivery of footage from key games and top prospects

     
  • Effective communication with scouts and the social team to stay on the action

     
  • Clips being posted within hours, not days, of the action

     

What You’ll Need

  • Experience shooting video on a phone or DSLR/mirrorless camera

     
  • Strong eye for action and basketball IQ—knowing what to capture and when

     
  • Familiarity with Instagram Reels, TikTok, and short-form trends

     
  • Comfortable working in fast-paced, high-energy gym environments

     
  • Organizational skills to tag/sort clips quickly and clearly

     
  • Bonus: experience with CapCut, Canva Video, Adobe Rush, or Premiere

     

Gear Requirements (No provided)

  • Smartphone with 4K camera (iPhone 12 or newer preferred)

     
  • Gimbal or stabilizer

     
  • Extra batteries / portable charger

     
  • Wi-Fi hotspot or mobile upload capability

     

Why This Role Matters

Every tournament is a chance for athletes to be recruited, and the way we highlight them on social media can open doors. This role is critical in making sure Prep Hoops stays the leader in coverage.

You’re not just capturing video, you’re helping build moments, stories, and exposure.
