Tampa Florida Pick Up Basketball, a dynamic organization founded by Byron Johnson, is dedicated to capturing the essence of basketball in the Tampa Bay Area through innovative videography and photography. Byron’s passion for the game, combined with his extensive basketball experience, has allowed him to develop a unique style for capturing captivating basketball highlights. As one of the main content creators, Byron continually seeks new and high-profile basketball events to showcase the vibrant local basketball scene.

Building on this dedication, Tampa Florida Pick Up Basketball has aligned with Byron Johnson’s recent acquisition of the Tampa Bay Titans, a professional basketball team that competes in The Basketball League (TBL) led by David Magley. This acquisition strengthens our mission to provide a pathway for athletes to progress from recreational play to professional levels. Our commitment extends beyond the court, as we aim to foster career development in various aspects of basketball, including playing, coaching, officiating, and other related roles.

To further its mission, Tampa Florida Pick Up Basketball is expanding its nonprofit efforts to provide high school and college students with valuable experience in videography, photography, and social media as part of a workforce development program. This initiative aims to equip students with practical skills and professional insights by working as interns alongside experienced staff. Through hands-on training, these students will gain proficiency in capturing, editing, and sharing high-quality basketball content, preparing them for future careers in media and digital storytelling.

To support this program, a budget is required to cover stipends for the interns and to purchase essential equipment such as video cameras, photography gear, computers, and editing software. This investment in workforce development will not only benefit the students but also enhance the organization’s ability to produce exceptional basketball content. By nurturing the next generation of media professionals and supporting a pathway for athletes to advance, Tampa Florida Pick Up Basketball is committed to fostering talent and contributing to the local community’s growth and development.
