Why? If that are your kids it would be even easier to get a model release ;-) And I am sure pictures of happy active kids would sell like hot cakes! Btw what lens and settings do you use for your sport shoots mainly? SY

The release is one problem. Most of the time there is more than one kid. Parents from oposite team are not easy to reach.
Copyright is another. I hate reebok, adidas, underarmor... you name it. Last name on back... Even in football, with helmets covering most of faces, a team logo makes it impossible.
I'm amateur by any means and my gear is cheap. I use 70-300/4-5.6 IS Canon. Settings vary. When I shoot for a team (that means 8x12 will be the biggest prints, most of them smaller) I use ISO 400 f/5-8 and highest shutter speed possible (at least 1/1000). At sunny mornings and afternoons I try to take pictures for stocks and low my ISO to 100-200, f/5. SS less than 1/500 is no use so my time for stocks photos is limited (this is third problem).
A few I manadged to put on stocks do not sell as good as I expected, btw. Discouraging.

Woah... I must say, I see exactly the oposite. My sport images (few as they are) sell exceptionally well. and is generally outselling my business images (and outlasting them!!)
Another surprise (does it count as sport?) is dance. I sell 5-15 dance images a day and I only have about a 100... BIG GAP IN THE MARKET!
Talya:
I really do not have enough photos for any conclusion but simple football laces close-up sells better. Still need to go through most of the fall season. 8)

I get excited about everything but end up editing only faces.
That's it - I think I like shooting faces. Older women - over 30 are my favourites at the moment. Much better attitude towards life, beautiful expressions, most of the times with less editing times than 17 year olds.
And I don't like full body shots at all.
If I had a choice of somebody shooting and me editing - I would love to do that as well :) But I am not allowed to edit Sean's pics. And I am not good enough to edit for another photographer.

I think anything that you enjoy and therefore become good at will sell! Simply because your images will have more meaning and content.
I do lots of filler images and vectors, but what I am truly passionate about always sells better.
