p.1 #1 · Soccer, Last 'game' of the season

My league my son plays for (intermural, not travel) had a really messed up season this fall with all the weather releated issues. Well, when it came time to play the last game of the season, they had a total of 8 players between the two teams, so what did they do? Move the goals in, and play a semi-pickup game - 4 on a side. Hey, the kids had fun. In addition, there were some U6s playing on the next field over. It was a COLD day, hence the sweatshirts/pants on a lot of the kids

C&C welcome

With munchkins. it's usually best to be sitting or kneeling on the ground. This provides a more leveled perspective.

Thanks for that tip - I was actually just walking to my son's game, and they were a couple of grabs, and I got a nasty look from the parents, The coaches and the league know who I am, but it was some parents I had not seen

for kids soccer try shooting at a higher shutter speed, more than 1/1000 for sharper pics

Yeah, that's a good tip - I try NOT to go below 800 - for some reason, pre shrink and downsample or here, the photos ARE sharper, but

Trying to overcome the paranoia of some parents is one of our biggest goals!

Glad to see I am not alone in this issue.
