USA Football, the sport's national governing body on youth and amateur levels, announced today that TSS Photography is its official photography partner.
 
The three-year partnership represents TSS Photography’s latest alliance with a sport’s national governing body and is its most significant foray into youth football, a community composed of approximately 3.0 million youth football players and more than 400,000 coaches. Established in 1983, the Duluth, Ga.-based company with 225 franchised locations in 42 states is the preferred photography provider for youth sports leagues, schools, churches, clubs and other groups.
 
TSS will photograph USA Football events, which are held in 27 states throughout 2010, to further strengthen youth football’s development and continued growth.  USA Football events include State Leadership Forums featuring hundreds of youth football league commissioners, full-day Coaching Schools for youth football coaches and Player Academies for youth players aged 7-14. USA Football is the official youth football development partner of the NFL, its 32 teams and the NFL Players Association.
 
USA Football members, who reside in all 50 states, will receive special discounts on TSS photography services, such as team picture days.
 
"TSS is honored to partner with USA Football and happy that millions of children and their families will have the opportunity to have TSS provide the best picture day possible along with the best football leadership possible,” said TSS Photography President JOE LINDENMAYER. “Our strong network of franchise owners and their photographers bring tremendous quality, service and value along with unsurpassed product variety to help the local organizations that USA Football serves."
