Soccer Shooting Class
Their task was to isolate a player in an action frame and, if pos-
sible, with either an other player in direct competition or the ball.
Light is free… capturing it is not!
Sporting events with fast-moving action following the ball are always difficult - plenty of camera panning and shooting just at the 'right' moment
It is also very difficult to get a 'perfect' photo while also having a complementary background. It would be most interesting to compare all the resulting images side-by-side

Yes, sports are challenging… very much so.
However, I never put myself in competition with the student,
This is something they can do among them selves though.

G'day NS
I was not meaning that .... more the side-by-side comparisons that come about later when student's images are printed and spread out on the table for some post-shooting comparisons
We print up to 40 4" x 6" prints of a prac session [ie- 3 or 4 per student] and they are all spread randomly across a large table for group reviewing. Similar pics can be placed adjacent to one another for visual comparisons to be seen & discussed ... and then we invite students to select one print, not their own, to talk about to the group .... to share their feelings about the photo in their hand and why it appeals to them

Cool anecdote!
Now what if a ball was introduced… or a puck!
