Debbie, This was my first attempt at night football, but I have shot plenty of day sports/action, so I was used to the tracking of the subject. The hardest part was getting a proper exposure, and still stop action. My camera was giving me a really low shutter speed, and I had to guesstimate. I just set my camera manually to 1.250, at 2.8 and turned the flash on. I still have so much to learn!! )
