Yea, related to this is that you NEED to be far away from other parents or people for that matter. As someone who has filmed, I've actually had to make mental notes to 'edit the audio' at times because such and such parent says something that should be heard by the kids.

I would also recommend a few other things.

One, a tripod. It will save your arm from having to hold the camera steady for 30-45-90 minutes.
Two, an umbrella. Just pack it as you might end up needing it not only from rain but also from sun (small phones can overheat in direct sunlight).
Three, height, if at all possible. Even if it is just up 5 feet on top of some bleachers it will improve the video immensely if you get some height.

I would not bother with zooming in and out. I usually film at about 1.25-1.5 zoom which is enough to get a bit more features but also get all the players off the ball that are necessary. Don't just focus on the ball.

I would also suggest reaching out to the parents with a question: would you rather watch lower quality video LIVE or watch a playback of the game filmed in HD or even 4k video that you upload to youtube after the match is over. FWIW when our team was younger parents wanted to see it live but as they grew older they were more interested in higher quality video, especially if they wanted to use it for a highlight reel for their kid or to send to grandpa.

Great feedback. if you use your phone what do you think about using a lens attachment? Do you think you would just need a wide angle lens? I would be more in the watch it live camp since for this particular case I would be sitting in the car while the game is going on. Otherwise I would want the hi-res video.

We used an iphone and stood on bleachers and it was fine for a full field game.

Does anyone know of a service and price to have games streamed live?
