I'm taking pictures of my son's football games and am getting some good (I think) shots, but I seem to take a couple hundred shots per game in order just to get maybe 10-15 that are really decent.
I think one part of my problem is that I'm using a Canon 80-300 zoom lense (pretty cheap, I think somewhere in the $300 range a few years ago) and we seem to play games only on cloudy days -- so my shutter speed isn't what I'd like a lot of the time.
My camera is a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and I just put it on (I know I'm going to get yelled at for this) the "Action" setting and leave it there while shooting the games.
Below are a couple shots and there's also a link to a page with about 20 of what I think are my best shots.
Any suggestions to help me get more/better shots would be really appreciated. Some of the parents are asking me for copies, so I'd like to be able to give them some good shots of their kid.
Thanks!

I Gotta Dance - I know the shadows are pretty harsh, but I just love the stance I caught.
Hole in the Dike - Kid coming through the line like that? Someone didn't block!
Everybody Wants Some - Dodging and weaving to make more yards.
More pics here, if you like
