Before going to a big-league ballpark, stadium, or arena, first practice taking photos at a minor-league, college, or high school game. The action may be slower, allowing you more time if you don't press the shutter quick enough or are not 100% familiar with your digital camera's features. Plus, the stakes aren't quite as high if you miss a shot, since the cost to such sporting events can be much less. Taking your camera to a sporting event will give you more insight into the game itself; when action occurs and when players just stand around.
