Very Nice pics! Nice capture of the action and anticipation. #2 is my fave. Thanks for sharing.
note to self - next time stay for the older kid's games!

Very nice shots.
Good timing.

Some minor suggestions: shots 1-3 could use a little work lightening the faces

Shot 5 is a nice shot, but if you plan ahead of time for your quarterback profiles, try to be a bit more ahead of him, so you can see his eyes better. Seeing his eyes will improve this type of shot and you usually have many opportunities in the game to get it.

Still, excellent job - like the framing, colors and good job blurring your backgrounds!

Thanks LT, #2 is actually one of my favorites from the day too. ANd the older kids can be a little easier to shoot in that they are more predictable and generally go where you think they are going to go. They are definitely faster though!!

Thanks JohnG, I did do some face lightening but did not want to overdo it. They look good on my home monitor and in print. Maybe I'll try to go a little lighter on the next batch.

I do wish #5 was little more head on. I do have a nice full face shot of the QB here:
