Long Beach Middle School Volleyball Championships

 This past Saturday I covered the Long Beach Middle School Division I & II Girls Volleyball Championships held at Wilson High School.

After staying up way to late the night (I should actually say morning) prior, I almost decided not to go and simply go right back to bed, but in the end I got my gear together and headed out to Wilson High.

I don't shoot much volleyball, but have to say I do enjoy covering middle school volleyball.  Probably because its not as fast pace as high school and lord knows its not even close to college level, but it gives me the opportunity to get some decent shots.

Now enjoy the pictures.

Long Beach Middle School Girls Volleyball City Championships

The Long Beach Middle School Girls Volleyball City Championships took place at Wilson High School right after the flag football city championships.

For the below games (7 matches) I used a combination of my 70-200 f/2.8L lens and my 300 f/2.8L lens. I actually believe most of the shots posted (team shots excluded) were taken with the 300. I positioned myself behind the judges where I was able to capture shots on either side of the net.

In Division II the Cubberley Cubs found them matched against the Muir Trailblazers.

I had a very busy weekend with volleyball and flag football. Although I'm sharing the volleyball first, it was the flag football I shot first.

Here are some shots from the Division I Volleyball Championship.
