Ajman vs. Alwasl 25 Oct 2013 soccer game

[DBA]

I shoot kids soccer a bit - much smaller field clearly - but I walk back and forth to try and catch good action.
They are obviously much less skilled and the action isn't as clean cut but I shoot a lot of shots to get a few partly good ones.
I would love a decent 300 2.8 but just can't justify the cost.

This is as good as I've gotten; these kids just don't show the athleticism and control that adults do.

Not trying to sound harsh but the kid isn't the problem in this photo. It looks like you're standing which ruins the perspective. Professional's photos are IMO spot on with the perspective in that the lens is waist high to the players. That said it is more difficult to get low enough with kids as you almost have to sit (vs kneeling).

From the looks of it, orange in picture #5 is looking to get a red card...studs up and nowhere really near the ball!? Nice shots!
