Soccer 2012

013112NPHSSoccerX

I just can't stop shooting soccer. For about a dozen years I attended and photographed hundreds of soccer matches for AYSO, club teams and Newbury Park High School. Now that my boys are done playing soccer, I thought I was done. Wrong. For the second season in a row I found myself helping the Newbury Park High School Soccer program by shooting a few matches.

Just for the fun of it, yesterday I selected 48 image from about 2500 posted and made the best of 2011-2012 Dot Photo album.

Enjoy.

Just another old fashion soccer weekend with four matches to shoot. Only difference is now soccer weekends are few and far between. The Newbury Park Boys U19 AYSO team played in the Pot O’ Gold Tournament in Thousand Oaks. They went 2-1-1 and finished fourth.

NPHS Loses in CIF 2nd Round

Web-picX
Today was fun, but sad. I took the day off to shoot the Newbury Park High School Varsity Boys soccer play in the 2nd round of CIF playoffs. But they lost 0-1 to Esperanza HS. I had two boys go through the NPHS soccer program and after six years of countless matches, I skipped this season. But several friends and parents asked me to shoot. So I relented and did. Maybe if I only promised to shoot the CIF Finals......

2.5 for One Soccer

092709AYSO61x
Sunday was a two for one match special. The Newbury Park Boys AYSO U19 B team was playing against Malibu. On the very next field was the A team. I just set up in between the two fields and shot images of the A game during breaks in the B game. In addition, about half of the Malibu team were Newbury Park players loaned to Malibu for the season. (NP had too many sign up, Malibu not enough so a combined team was formed.) So this was actually and two and one half for one special match. I edited down the 550 frames to about 110.

Major Bummer

022509VarVsStFrancisxx

Newbury Park High School boys varsity soccer team lost Wednesday 1-0 to St. Francis in the CIF 2nd round playoffs. Yes it was a major bummer. St. Francis scored on a corner kick with four minutes left in the match.

Still, this was a very successful year for the NPHS soccer team. They had to overcome several key injuries, rebounded to win 3 of their last 4 league matches and was the only Marmonte League team to advance past the first round. I am very proud of this team.

I posted 80 images online: DotPhoto album.

Tuesday Night Sweep

Tuesday night the Newbury Park High School Boys soccer teams won all three matches against Simi Valley High School. The Frosh Soph won 2-0. The JV won 1-0 on a goal in the last minute of play. Best of all was the Varsity, overcoming the loss of both Varsity goalies and a couple key starters, they beat first place Simi Valley 2-1.

Tonight, the Varsity followed up Tueday's win with a 3-0 win at Calabasas. I was at work and missed tonight's match.

Celebration



Newbury Park High School Varsity player Eric Muller (8) is normally a defender, but moves up to the net on corner and free kicks. On Friday, he scored a header, and celebrated big time. On Saturday he again scored and again celebrated big time, losing his shirt and receiving a yellow card.

The newest DotPhoto album is from boys Varsity matches Friday against Beverly Hills, won 4-0, and Saturday against Agoura, lost 3-2.

One of the joys of watching high school soccer is seeing how fast the jerseys become untuck. Here are two examples from Wednesday's JV game at Valencia High School. I was not able to shoot the Frosh Soph as they played the same time as the JV.

On Sunday the coaches meet with AYSO staff and received housing assignments.

The British Coaching staff for the Major League Soccer summer soccer camp arrived in Newbury Park. This year our old soccer friends called and asked us to host two coaches for the week. My boys attended the summer camp over five years ago and we hosted coaches a twice back then.

Being soccer, I did not need an excuse to go this morning, shoot the first day of camp and put up a photo album.

The camp is co-hosted by the MLS and AYSO Region 42. Dot photo album.

NPHS Season Ends in CIF Regionals

The Newbury Park High School Varsity Soccer season ended Tuesday in a tough 1-2 loss to Santa Monica High School. After falling behind 0-1 at half time, NPHS dominated the first 20 minutes of the 2nd half and tied the score 1-1. Included in the comeback was a save on a Santa Monica PK by NPHS goalie Troy Williams that left Santa Monica players and fans shaking their heads. To Santa Monica's credit, they came back and scored the winning goal.

I overheard several Santa Monica HS fans and school officals saying this was the toughest game of the year for the 26-0 team that is rated #2 nationally. Frankly I was much more impressed by Santa Margarita last Saturday in the CIF Division 1 playoff finals. Santa Monica won the Division 4 finals, but acted susprised by how tough a CIF Division 1 team plays. Too bad Santa Margarita is playing in the CIF Regionals Division 2. Santa Monica was given a gitt. Santa Margarita has a much better defense and would beat Santa Monica.

I found this sign in my front yard as I left for work Friday. The Newbury Park High School Boys Varsity Soccer team won an exciting game (by all accounts) on pks. Esperanza and NPHS were tied 2-2 at the end of regulation. After two overtime and two sudden death periods they went to pks. NPHS players scored all four pks while the NPHS goalie blocked one and another Esperanza kick was wide. Sorry I missed this one!

Last weekend I attended a funeral in Nebraska for my Aunt Irene Carlson. More on that in a future post. Then the co-worker who usually could cover for me had to attend a funeral for his sister this week. With a touch of the flu thrown in, I was ready for good news last night.

Soccer and Power Outages

The boys games on Wednesday, January 9th, were cancelled because Simi Valley High School was without power. They entire campus was black. Newbury Park High School was also having its own outage - one of the four lighting towers at the stadium was out. It went out during Monday's games, but the stadium was still used on Monday and Wednesday for soccer. I suspect last weekend's heavy rains was the cause.

Wednesday night I took some photos from the well lite half of the stadium. The girls varsity tied 1-1 against Simi Valley. Enjoy.

Monday while shooting soccer at Newbury Park High School, I went to the east end of the field and shot a few frames of the sunset over the stadium.

Of course, during the sunset shoot the Newbury Park High School Junior Varsity gilrs scored this goal.

Tech notes: I shot the sunset with ISO set to 200 and the digital files saved in RAW format. Once in photoshop I made two copies of this image, one for the sky and one for the field, and merged using layers and a mask.

There are four photo albums from Monday. After the three girls games, the boys varsity played. Enjoy. Scott

Newbury Park vs Newbury Park

Wednesday night was the start of the fall soccer season. The two Newbury Park AYSO U19 boys teams played each other to a 2-2 tie. Many of the players have been together for over ten years through AYSO, club and high school teams. Was fun to watch.

The game was played under the lights at a local park - a challenge to shoot. I was able to shoot at 1/160th a second at f/2.8 at 800iso. I shot raw format and used an 80-200 zoom lens. Only about one-third of the field is lit. The light on the rest of the field falls off rapidly.

I shoot raw as much as possible. For night sports I get about a one-stop increase in quality. Anyway, here is a photo gallery from last nite.
