High School Lacrosse

These are my first attempts at shooting lacrosse.

Hey Canonfan, I am a Canon fan too!
Not bad for a first attempt! The first one is pretty cool although I would Crop it just a little more...I think you are trying to keep the goalie in the background (correct me if I am wrong) but he distracts from the true action between the two players....
Now the second one....some might say its too out of focus, but for some reason, I like it. Your player is still in focus just enough to be isolated.....A magazine probably wouldn't pick it up but the player will probably think it's cool.

Lets see more!

Ah, your second image is the keeper here.

The viewers eye is drawn straight to the central figure and the image shows the speed and action of the sport much better than a frozen image like your first shot does.
