"Technically" the school district I coached in a couple of years ago required the the coach/leader get a signed release form from the parent of each participant under 18 for any school sanctioned activity. The AD forced this issue so we had to get the form from the district and get each parent to sign, this let us film the games. Without that form we had no right to film the players. He was talking that it had to be 100% or nobody couldbe on the video. It was kind of the same issue, they were trying to keep unauthorized videos from being made. This wasn't just for football/sports, but all school related activities. Nobody ever really did it, but I played the game like the AD wanted and had every player with a release form.

That's tough, but this would be worse: There could be children who aren't participants but just happen to be in the shot in the foreground or background.
At least it's not as bad as the group yearbook photo in Britain a few years ago where they decided to obscure all the children's faces because of some law or policy with a similar effect. They're even nuttier about the possibility of child sexual molestation there than in the USA.

In Kansas they talked about this a while back and I thought they decided that it was an assumed part of playing a public sport that you could be video taped or taken a picture of. I'm no attorney, but I remember reading this...

If you're out in public, I find it hard to believe that they can forbid taking pics/video-taping. It might be uncomfortable, and the better part of discretion may be to turn the camera off, but when push comes to shove, they have no right to say "no". Not as long as you aren't using it for commercial purposes.
