#4. Sports Action

For the sports action assignment, I took photos on a Sunday morning at a field in Costa Mesa, where a bunch of teams from the AYSO soccer league were having matches. I felt like it would be nice to take photos little kids playing a sport instead of adults, because it's so different seeing lots of little people running around playing a sport. The light was kind of difficult to work with since it was the beginning of the day, but I had a lot of fun with this assignment and I think that my shots came out pretty good.

The Goblins and the Sharks, part of the AYSO (American Youth Soccer Organization) U5 Boys Division, chase after the ball Saturday morning at Fair Park in Costa Mesa. Patrick Arciniega, parent of a Goblin player, says, "This league has been such a great experience for our son. Ever since the World Cup ended this summer, he has been obsessed with the sport and now he is able to play and have fun."

Parent of a Goblin player, Patrick Arciniega, is impressed by the dexterity of the small team. "Game after game the boys' skill level seems to increase, and it's a really fascinating thing to witness."
