Right there with you, Bill...love these two shots. Grandkids sports is a large part of all my photography at this stage of life. I REALLY like the soccer photo as it illustrates the emotion involved in the fight for the ball. For soccer, I put myself down at the backline of the goal my team is attacking. To get the type of shot at midfield as above, I've got the 'reach' with the Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 but I can go down to 70mm when the action gets close to the goal. I use my D4s (on a monopod to lessen fatigue) with the shutter set to CH to increase the chance of getting the money shot...lots of 'culling' later on in LR though.
As to baseball, I am finding it increasingly more challenging to find a place to stand that isn't obstructed by the nets that all the fields seem to be adopting. One of the last secret spots I've found is to get to the gate by the dugout and open up a crack just big enough to get my lens through.

I am lucky with the baseball as my son in law was a pitcher for Nebraska and drafted by San Diego. He is a coach, so he makes sure I get a good location. Many of the fields where my grandson plays allows me to get on top of a dugout

What I love about kid sports photography is the concentration in each child's face. Great shots. Cheers.
