Ok there were only a handful of shots that were actually focusing on the right person and I also liked these the best. They are cropped a bit...are they ok? This was done for leisure at my sister's playoff game. C&C welcome and encouraged...I am new and still learning..thx!

Not sure why the ball is behind them, but still like this shot

All good action shots, but in #3 it looks like the color balance got out of hand. The grass there is a completely different color than in the first two shots.

I'd like to see #2 cropped closer in on the action. Either that or with the defender completely in the frame. Also, a more shallow DOF would help I think. It's definitely a good action shot and you caught it at a good point IMO.

#3 looks like you caught it at a slightly odd moment, but it's really not too bad.

I also like #1.

Looks more like an exposure issue to me - you can see the difference in the white shirt too.

#1 is pretty good, #2 has potential but I think needs to be closer/cropped.

Thank you. Yes I did get alittle crazy with the color on #3.

Also I did consider cropping out that defender on#2 and I am glad you agreed. Decision made...defender is out!
