3 Top Tips For Sports Photography: 

• Avoid following the ball with your camera. Instead, try to predict where it may go, or fix on a player who just lost it to get a great reaction shot.
• Hit the shutter just before the action begins as shutter lag can mean you miss the key shot. Using continuous shooting mode can help prevent this, too. 
• If you know something’s going to happen in a particular area, pre-focus there so you're ready to capture the shot.
