Taking classes, one online and one in person, I was able to ask for the instructor to take a look at my work beyond class assignments and get some input. I've done sports and had a chance once to talk briefly with a major league team photographer. You could maybe contact the photographer and ask if you can observe a session or shadow them and see if you can develop that into a chance to work with them.
If you don't already I'd have a portfolio or your own website ready for someone to take a look at as they may want to see what you can do.

Then after a bit he let me shoot some of the pictures in the church. Then he let me shoot the entire wedding while he was with me and eventually letting me shoot weddings on my own. It took a year and a half but it was the best training I have ever received.
