Posted this on another thread regarding shooting kids rugby, the first line was regarding a mono-pod.
and got this
So where am I going wrong, is my reply really hog wash, if so, how do I set up?
Many thanks
They are a hindrance unless your stuck in a dug. If your moving around one is not really needed.
As for freezing action, Spot meter, pick the shutter speed you want, anything above 1/250, choose your aperture you want (to highlight a player f/2.8, group action f/7.1) and then adjust your ISO for your exposure needs.
Try not to use burst modes, you'll eat through cards, watch the game and expected the expected, if your missing shots then burst mode.
Try not to shoot into the sun, even if it's cloudy, take a compass.
Stay low and out of the way and be prepared to move quickly.
Hope you have fun, although it's kid's it should still be a blast.

Have you ever seriously shot a rugby game at any level whatsoever, some of the advice you have given here is total and absolute hog wash.
