If so, what's your set-up?

I'm supposed to be shooting a tennis practice in a few weeks and pretty sure i'm going to use strobes. The only time we can do it is at night. I'm thinking two AB800's left and right of the player and one mounted high and behind the player for hair light.

as long as they are only on one court. im not experienced with lighting but with 2 strobes you can put one on each side and only shoot one court at a time unless they have great stadium lights over your courts.

or if you are lighting one person at a time then a key and a fill on one side of a court. i dont know how far the light will reach if you can strobe two courts with both of those

Wouldn't the strobes distract the players?

It would be a practice so it probably would distract them but it wouldn't matter
