Looking for Feedback - LAX Season is Just Around the Corner

Over the last several years, I have been shooting high school soccer and lacrosse games. I have a vested interest with my son playing, but it's grown well beyond that with many parents appreciating my pictures of their boys too! So I receive lots of positive feedback, none unbiased.

LAX is made more difficult with helmets and cages, sticks and defenders getting in the way. I do alright with open field running; but, I'd like to improve my action shots and get more defensive players (keeping that half of the parents happy too).

We have our next season opening up in a few weeks. I'm looking for feedback from fellow photographers. Thanks in advance!

I like engaged action shots like the first and second images.

If it were me, on your next shoot:

1. Shoot lower to the ground. Maybe kneel or sit down. At least a good portion of the time.
2. Shoot at 200mm @ f2.8 as much as possible. Your third image was at f6.3. Wasn't sure if that just by accident. :)

I almost picture going for images similar to this:

But, of course, mix it up also.

Great feedback - I will incorporate your suggestions. Thanks!
