Football: Pitchside for Under 16...

[robeves]

I was thinking.. I have only just started out in this hobby, and am planning to mainly shoot football, due to it being something I really enjoy and I seem to get decent shots from it.

I have only ever shot from the stands however, and whilst I still enjoy it, it is obviously hard to get as good shots as the togs around the pitch!

I plan to shoot at my local team AFC Hornchurch next season from the stands/

If I got good enough, do you think it would be possible to shoot pitchside? Or as a 15 year old, I would imagine that there are limitations around this...

Any help is appreciated, as I would love to know if it will ever be possible to shoot pitchside at this age..

We`ll probably pass each other at half time when AFC play Kingstonian!

The main limitation re: pitchside I would imagine is that you would need the public liability insurance cover (if a player or official falls over you or your kit and injured themselves, the insurance would cover the bills)

I`m not sure whether you`d get it at 15. Might be worth asking an insurer, they`d be able to tell you.

TBH, I`ve been shooting Kingstonian most of this season, usually from behind the goal area, got some pretty good shots. I`m not sure I would neccesarily get much better shots pitchside with the kit I have.

My Kingstonian sets.

I`d say be determined, and anything's possible.
