1
A Good Camera
The first thing that you will need in order to be able to capture some great shots is a good camera. Ideally, it should be a professional camera; if you have one with sports lenses, all the better.
This is important because you cannot take the perfect picture with the help of the common cameras, which are not specifically made for the purpose. -

Good Skills
Not only should you have a good camera but the ability to take good pictures as well. It is important that you at least have some good basic skills of photography and are aware of the working of the camera and the lenses that you are using.
This will allow you to capture some good pictures. A good camera alone cannot do the job. -

Vantage Point
To get a good picture, you must have a good position to take the picture from. You can get a seat in an area where you can get a snapshot of your liking or you can simply walk around and see a point from which some good photography can be done.
A well placed seat that gives a clear shot of the play can be great. If you are closer to the action, it can help you in getting even more clarity on your pictures. -

Readiness
The final and most important aspect is to be ready and never let your guard down. Some of the greatest sports pictures were taken when they were least expected and people who were ready got successful.
You may have to wait for hours or even several games to get a good picture but the wait is well worth it as in the end of the day, you will have that perfect shot.
