About CityBall
CityBall
is a
feature-length documentary showcasing a year in the life
of student athletes in Kansas City's inner city high
schools. This project explores the positive role of
athletics in the precarious lives of these
impressionable students.
"The first time I saw someone get shot, I was 10 years
old," says Delfino Jacquez.
It's a stunning statement from the senior point guard at
Kansas City's Northeast High School. It's even more
striking that the story is not all that uncommon among
students in the Kansas City Missouri School District.

More about CityBall |
|
Once the toast of Kansas City athletics, the
Interscholastic League is now riddled with problems
including budget cuts, below average facilities,
coaching turn-over, and staffing shortages.
This
project explores the positive role of athletics in the
precarious lives of these impressionable students.
It also delves into the roles played by parents,
coaches, and school administrators in the many decisions
that influence the futures of young athletes in Kansas
City.

"Anyone who
watches CityBall will be better
for it."

“I am a middle
aged white guy and had tears in
my eyes.”

About the producer |
|
|
Stephen Spiegel is a
sports producer, videographer, editor, and writer. He
has produced award-winning programming for Metro Sports
for ten years. He developed the idea for CityBall
several years ago while covering a local team with
barely enough football players to take the field. He
began to question why the students continued to band
together, and what caused their number of team members
to shrink so drastically. To help answer these
questions, Spiegel takes his camera into the locker
rooms, onto the fields and courts, and into the homes of
several Kansas City student athletes.
