The Fall youth sports season if finally underway. The kids here in Gilbert, Arizona can compete and play in only 103 degree sunshine of September instead of the balmy 113 degrees of August. Lucky tikes! Currently the two most popular sports are football and soccer, so naturally that is what I’m shooting. Gilbert Youth Soccer Association and Gilbert Youth Football League offer some great, affordable programs for kids. While the football is very competitive for the older kids, the soccer, especially at the 4-5 year old level is enjoyable to watch, as the girls in this case, learn the fundamentals of the game. Of course at 4-5 years old, it’s pretty much six little girls running up and down the field trying to steal the ball from each other, even if on the same team.
My typical outdoor gear for youth sports is my trusty Sony Alpha 100 and the classic Minolta 70-200mm F4 AF Lens, affectionately called the ‘beercan’. While it was a typical sunny day in the Valley of the Sun(stroke) with lots of natural light, I still choose to utilize ISO 200 to ensure I freeze all of the action.
I’ve posted a handful of images and provided a
