More information

Submit youth football, cheerleading info, photos

Sports Scene is a Miami Herald feature that spotlights news and notes from all youth and adult sports activities with a Miami-Dade slant. The aim of the section is to feature game notes and the accomplishments of individual players from Miami-Dade County, along with league and park standings.

With youth football starting (flag and tackle), submit game notes on Miami-Dade players and teams -- win, lose or draw. Cheerleading programs can submit Cheerleaders of the Week regularly.

To be fair to everyone, we rely on the directors and the coaches of each league and the community to send information for Sports Scene. The more you send, the more space for your player, team, program, sport. We also accept photos, but we ask that everyone pictured be identified with a first and last name and the name of the team or park they represent. If possible, please include the name of the photographer.

The section is free and open to anyone. Email sportsscene@MiamiHerald.com or jvarsallone@miamiherald.com.
