Picture this: you are on the sidelines of your daughter’s soccer game. Despite the great view you have, watching all the action up close, you are feverishly pulling out your smartphone to try and get a Sports Illustrated-worthy picture of your future Mia Hamm (we can all hope right?). Unfortunately, the game doesn’t slow down for you to position yourself or adjust focus. While fumbling with your settings, your kid raises her arms in triumph while her teammates mob her after scoring a great goal. And you? Well, you didn’t get the shot and even worse, you didn’t see the goal with your own eyes. Welcome to parenting in the digital era.
For the last six years, Coverd co-founders David and Justin experienced this phenomenon firsthand while coaching their daughters in New York City’s largest youth soccer league, the West Side Soccer League. Parents were literally unable to put down their phones and simply watch and experience their kids competing and growing. David and Justin decided to do something about it which was the inspiration for Coverd – finding a way for all of us to live in the moment while preserving those moments with professional-quality sports photographs.
Having now shot over 200 sporting events including soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball, flag football, tae kwon do, kickball, and even dodgeball, Coverd knows sports photography and how to capture the shots we all so desperately want. In the blink of an eye, our kids grow up, and maybe they keep playing sports and maybe they don’t. But let’s at least ensure that we are enjoying the moments now, knowing there is a simple and affordable way to get great sports photos to cherish for a lifetime. As one very happy parent shared with us after watching his son compete in a flag football tournament sports photography, “I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed not having to worry about photos. Watched every second of the game….Coverd thank you!”
