i can do it with a template, but doing it from scratch is just too much trouble

you could also do a lot of it with javascript/html5

host contact information, a personal profile, bios for athletes, as well as give a company a professional edge.

Which is exactly what this 12 year old filmer needs.

No. It makes you even more annoying.

people are just questioning the legitimacy of a 14 year old's need for their own team website.

when i have a little more time i'll look for some flash templates and stuff for you

don't pay any mind to people questioning this idea. if nothing else, as a senior in college coming out into a bad job market, i wish i would have done this years ago if nothing else than for an incredibly unique project to put on a resume. founder of a website/company of sorts at age 14? you've got good things ahead of you if you can really follow through and make this legitimate.

i'll get back to you and pm me if i don't

I agree with Mr_Papageorgio.

I don't think you should use flash.  It seems like it is a dying technology, and for a web page like you want you can get similar effects and better compatibility with CSS, Javascript, and HTML.  HTML 5 can certainly handle this as well.

I have a personal website that uses a template similar to the website you posted.  I wrote the template for it in CSS/html from scratch and I will give it to you for free if you want it.  Then all you would need is to customize the template a bit and put your own content in it.  And find a host of course.  It is really easy to embed vimeo/youtube in an HTML site, so that gives you a quick way to get your content up.

Unfortunately, my template doesn't have a photo gallery like that other site does, but I'm sure you can find something that will work for that.

I posted this in your logo thread...or whatever it was.

If you're not grown up enough to go seek out real professional help and instead seek out cheap labor on NS, then you're not ready for a website. If you want to do it over NS, actually be productive with your post and give specific criteria and info so that people who actually do this sort of thing professionally (I know they're here) can actually help you.

^^^ why pay BIG money for professional help when yes, there are tons of kids on newschoolers learning and creating their own balling websites. Why not utilize one of them so they can add to their own portfolio, make a little money, and help this young kid gets a dope website to help promote himself more... sounds like a win/win to me. But you are right, if he wants it be of professional standards he is going to have to know what he wants and be able to communicate his thoughts/ideas to whoever designs it for him. I only say this as a New Media Comm major where I am currently learning CSS and XHTML, webdesign, etc... and breaking into this industry, like any other, you need experience and a large portfolio to back you up, just saying seems like this little fellow is on the right track, if you don't find any help on this I can help you in the next few weeks, still learning my way around code though :)

I also checked out the OP's videos on vimeo and all I have to say is keep at it, you're gonna make some dope isssht the more you learn and create!!!!

Also, you might want to check out http://flavors.me.  They will give you a really basic personal homepage for free (there are paid options if you want), and you could post some basic info and give links to your other pages (vimeo).
