Hi there. I’m looking to buy a beginner-type camera for taking pics of my daughter’s sporting events...and to capture family memories via quality photos. Any suggestions on what brand/type of camera I should be looking at/for? Thanks in advance for the feedback.

Give a look at Nikon's D3400, D5600 and D7200.

Budget?
Canon is the top sports rated system in the world.
Look at sporting events and that is all you see almost.

Give me a break! Canon, top rated? By Canon. This person is not a pro and Nikon will serve him well.

If there's a Costco near you buy one of the Nikon or Canon beginner packages and try it out. if you don't like it you can return it for a full refund in 30 days.

There many to choose from only issue to consider money.

What ever you get. Do a search for what ever model of camera you get put tutorial behind the make model. Then go to videos. There is many tutorials to watch an learn more about your purchase.

Welcome to our forum. To answer your question, I need to know what is your upper limit for your budget?
And, what sporting events you want to photograph.

For sports shooting get a fast lens.

A Canon is OK but you don't have to buy a Canon. A Nikon is fine.

Don’t know if it’s a company wide policy, but our Costco allows 90 days.
