Steven: It's a long road! But you've got the right idea by posting more of your work and seeking feedback. In terms of color and exposure, these look very good. Composition is where I think each of these images falls short. With the first image, it's a pretty interesting action moment, but it also is true that for one of the players, we see only her hair, her butt and the bottom of one of her shoes. That makes for an awkward shot. Not horrible, but not great. Your second shot seems to have captured an 'in-between' moment in that there may have been peak action prior to this moment and there may be peak action following this moment, but here we have a lull, along with the back of the closest player. Your third image might be the strongest, but would be improved by going with a horizontal crop and including all of the ball. Even so, once again we have an off-peak moment, and it's the peak action that often is most interesting to see.
I wouldn't be surprised if you have better examples of peak action in the full take from this event. One of the things we all have to learn is how to find our best shots, and it's not an easy thing to do until you have a good idea of how 'outsiders' view your images. Keep posting! You've got a lot to work with here.
