[QUOTE="goz63, post: 6310, member: 1557"] I agree with the above and will add my $0.2, Making sure your shutter speed is at least f125 will help keep the players in focus. I was having trouble initially when panning horses that were running and found this shutter speed to be fine. Those kids will not be running faster than the horses. I would also try 3D matrix metering if the D3k has that. I too shoot a D90 and that is used for action shots. If you start to shoot under stadium lights you will have some trouble with the lens/camera combo. The D3K does not have the best high ISO rating and the lens only goes to 3.5 on the wide end. Without dropping a ton of cash, you can get a telezoom that will allow you get closer eliminating the need to "blow up" the picture which will increase the noise or graininess of the picture. I have a monopod and I like it for shooting sports as it not only helps keep the camera steady but it keeps it level. It makes the composition easier for me. JMHO [/QUOTE]
