Announcing Team News Tuesdays!

Adam Koehler Midwestern Region, News, Regions, South Central Region, Southern & Atlantic Coastal Region, Team News, Western Region

Today we are announcing a new way to get your team news out to the public as we are turning Tuesdays into Team News Tuesday! Team News Tuesday will allow all teams to share their updates with the entire NCWSA! We want to help increase the exposure for all of our NCWSA teams, and to help promote all the great activities, skiing, and contributions of our NCWSA skiers and teams.

Team News Tuesdays cannot exist without your contributions

Please email team news and updates to updates@ncwsa.com with the following standard so that all updates can be easily sorted and sent off to the “Team News” NCWSA.com writer.  If the standard is not followed, collection may be hindered and this may delay the release of your team news. We are hoping for lots of updates, but we do not want to overwhelm any readers to the point of not reading; so if there is overwhelming amount of team news in a given week then the NCWSA.com writer may make a judgement call to delay the news until the following week based on the item’s time sensitivity.

Team News/Updates Email Format or Standard

Send emails to updates@ncwsa.com

  • Subject Line: Team News: Team Name
    • e.g. Team News: UCLA Water Ski Team
  • First standalone paragraph/sentence: Whether the announcement is a time sensitive.
    • e.g. The deadline for this event/activity/order is January 20, 2017, please post with a team news release prior to this deadline.
    • e.g. The deadline for this news release is not time sensitive, please post with a team news release as soon as possible.
  • Second standalone paragraph/sentence: The title or brief summation (in a few words) of your news
  • Third standalone paragraph/sentence: The news item or update for release
    • Use specific dates such as Saturday February 20, 2017 in case the news item is slightly delayed for release.
      • Saying this past Saturday, when the event or news was about a Saturday two or three weeks ago can lead to reader confusion.
  • Pictures: If you have pictures, please include them as an attachment to the email.
    • If you include a bunch then 1 to 3 will be chosen for inclusion.
    • Any photos not befitting the standard of the NCWSA website will not be used.
