Be brutal
I know they are bad
Thought 1 or 2 of them might be ok
Probably not

I didn't care for the ones with flash, it seems to take the environment out of the picture. Having everything edged by its own shadow doesn't work, either.

I could tell you were playing with exposure settings, and you can see which ones are right and which ones are a bit dark. You'd think a lit field would be easier than a gym, wouldn't you??

no kidding
OK so no flash anytime?
ok cool
I try to do what everyone says
but they are so dark
even in post shooting processing

where is the head against the brick wall smiley?

I'm not a fan of flash on sports pics either, but I have to admit that some people do a pretty good job with it. Wish I could help you there but I've got no expertise in that arena. I can tell you that on camera flash just very rarely does a good job with sports.

The people that use flash for soccer or football usually mount them on the Monopod or Tripod( what ever they are using) I personally think they are harsh and they limit me( since I'm not that good) to a low fps rate.

Asking viewers to plow through 91 photos is a bit much. I suggest limiting it to a more reasonable number. You're much more likely to get a meaningful response.

What's with the constant Be-brutal-because-I'm-a-lousy-photographer approach? I don't see any need to put yourself down. None of us knows everything there is to know about photography! We're all still in various stages of learning.

If shot in raw I think the non flashed photos may turn out ok with a bit of post processing but a venue with bad lighting is something hard to deal with. Usually the center part of the field has the best light.

I would wait for a day game if I had to get good portraits of the players.
