I am about to go to my sons 1st game of the season. I am wonder what mode you use to shoot. He is 9 if that helps.

I shoot full manual exposure (ISO and White Balance also), with the aperture wide open to maximize the shutter speed. All exposures will be identical no matter what the subject, composition, or background. You just have to keep an eye on the light and adjust for changes.

Do a quick review of an image occasionally and watch for the Blinkies too.

I also shoot bursts in AI Servo (Back Button AF) with mainly the center AF point. If the subject is distant, you can AF on the (high contrast) jersey for instant lock-on.  Closer, go for the head/eye.

For starters.

Good luck!
