I'm still of the opinion that for the question that was asked, a 1DX with a 70-200 attached is the best option for his circa £ 1k budget. It has all the same semi-automatic modes that will help, and various sports photographers can give him suggestions for rough settings - eg aim for 1/800+ shutter speed, maybe f/4 aperture and adjust ing ISO to suit. Sensible buying will mean that if he doesn't enjoy it, or his daughter stops, kit can be resold with minimual loss. It takes CF cards which are cheap and readily available, unlike those on the newer bodies, and the 70-200 will happily accept teleconverters if a bit of extra reach is required. It will also shoot video if thats required.
