Collin,
I don't do any sports photography, but on a soccer field, there are
two white rectangles marked before the goal. The inner one extends 5
meters into the field from the goal, and the outer one extends 16
meters out. I'm not sure how far they go out on the sides. Whenever
there's a chance of a goal, chances are that the action will be
concentrated within the outer rectangle. One good poll-position would
be behind one of the goals, preferrably of the weakest team..:-). If
you manage that, your shooting distance will be up to about 16 meters
plus the distance between you and the field.
Hope this can help you decide on a suitable focal length.
Jostein

No idea if it will come to fruition, but ....
there's a major league soccer all-star type of game here in July.
I'm going to try to get a sideline press pass
Would 300mm be enough for soccer? 400mm?
Would a zoom be more suitable? What range?
Collin
