Anyone use it for kids sporting events (soccer & basketball)? How do you like it?

It can be if you know how to use it. It isn't great in low light situations, and the autofocus is slow, but that can be worked around somewhat easily

I do. My kid plays volleyball and basketball. It has a small aperture so you wont get great shots in low light games. In the gym great!

Not a good lens for sports or any other events because auto focus is very slow.

It works great for me. Equally as well for wildlife. But when your kid is on the other side of the field this will allow you to still get a good picture.

We really like ours and haven't had any issues with it at all. We have children that play travel soccer and use this every day and it has held up great!!

Yes, I use it myself to track my soccer performance. Even better if you combine it with the heart tracking and the gps watch.

I used it for a 3 on3 basketball tournament and I was happy with it. I feel it would work for scoring gymnastic competition.

I think it would be great for kid's games. Good product, a little touchy to open. Probably be full of kids having a ball.

My son, who is 7, has been using it regulary on a combination of indoor and outdoor courts. By regularly, I mean two one hour practices per week plus clincs lasting from 2 to 3 hours once a week. I think it is intended for indoor courts but has worked fine so far without any issues on outdoor courts. However, please note that the ball has been put to less than 6 months of use so I can't say that it has really withstood the test of time. Still, it is an outstanding ball and, even though it is pricey, I would buy one again.

It's flawless watching sports. The 120 Hz handles fast frame rates exceptionally well. I've had it for a few months now and it has spoiled me as my friends' TVs just don't stack up despite being much larger and far more expensive

I have a newborn and so far the fast speed has been great. Haven't used it for sports yet though.

The camera is very good but I have never tried it with sports. I use it only for domestic photos. Regarding the lens pack I felt it was useful for me.

So is it for one-time use or not? If Kiddie recommends running drills with it, how would it be for one-time use?

It has great frame rates taking 4fps. The action setting makes shooting sporting events really easy I use it all the time for swim meets and my pictures turn out great. Make sure you look at the white balance for the indoor stadiums and other highly lit events so you don't use a flash and wash out your subjects.

We bought them for a six year old and eight year old. Both have been very happy with it. A 3 year old plays on it at basketball practice. It is very sturdy. Since you can add Android apps you should be able to use it for older kids but the style might look too "little kid" for anyone over 10.

I use it every week for basketball for some extra support. Over a shirt it works great, sleeveless not so much. I recommend it tho

My kids use it for football (baseball too) and it works well but best if you hit the tighter woven area in the middle. If you are looking for something purely for football or baseball for that matter, I would buy a different net with tighter weaving but this one is good for multi-use

I think so. My children are 7-15 and they all enjoy this! This is the second year I've had it and the kids love it! Only bad thing is that the net for the basketball didn't hold up too well.
