      4)    Where is the light and where is it going. 

      5)    Kneel as low to ground as possible.

      6)    Vigilance on clean background.  (Bokeh)

      7)    Keep shooting after the play is over.  (Capture players celebrating.)

      8)    You're shooting action.  Try to get something special and different.       

      9)    Don't forget to shoot details.
