Yes, tis the role of the "fly on the wall".......But, at the end of the day, you get to choose what footage goes into the highlight reel and who gets the credit. So, try to engage your teammates to take still photos if nothing else and then promise to put their name into the photo credits in the highlight video.

Also, I typically walk around with at least two cameras and point blank say to someone, "Hey, take this camera and go take about 20 close-up shots of our fans in the crowd".....or "Hey, take this video camera and keep it centered on the entire field for the whole match and then bring my camcorder back to me..."

That will get more people involved in the video/photo sub-team.
