Calling all proud parents, grandparents and coaches....Send us a recent sports photo of your star athlete or team to run in the Hometown Sports section.

What qualifies? Anything action or posed of a community member that involves any sport from archery to shuffleboard, baseball to motocross. Photos must be recent.

How do I turn them in? E-mail photos as jpeg attachments to communitysports@tampabay.com or call Kellie Dixon at 352 544-9480 for other options.

Answer these questions: Why was the picture taken, or at what event was the picture taken? Who is in the picture? (Make sure you check the spelling.) What city/town is that person (or group) from? What is going on in the picture?

To ensure that your photo is selected, save it as a large file (minimum 1.5 megabytes).

Do not try to reduce, enlarge or edit the image in any way before sending it.

Simply send it as it comes off your camera.

And please leave the date off when you take the pictures.

Call (352) 544-9480 with questions.
