I am learning sports photography and would like some opinions on best settings for outdoor, sunny sports such as soccer, football and maybe baseball. I am going to starting by using an ISO of 100, f5.6, let the camera select the speed. I have a Nikon VR 70-200 mm. Your ideas and opinions would be great. Thanks

To be honest, I would FLIP the fashion in which you are planning on shooting. Faster subjects require faster shutter speeds. I recommend getting faster film, ISO200 would be good. If you have the option of selecting your shutter speed, and letting the camera select the FStop(Aperture) I would do that for now. Set your speed to a minimum of 1/250sec (I repeat, minimum). The higher the speed the better the stop action in the image. Another cool thing to do is to set the speed a LITTLE slower, 1/125, MAYBE 1/60, and then following (panning) your subject. Say it's a soccer player. Then AS you are following the subject, keeping him in the frame, take the shot while still panning. You'll get some really cool shots.

I recommend you borrow a digital camera and change the settings to sports/action and the iso setting to 200 for fast moving objects for the sake of simplicity and convenience. Chances are if you don't know which settings to use on a manual camera your pictures will come out blurry. I would read your owner's manual 3 times and if you still have questions seek professional help.

Feel free to check out my pictures here:

I photographed most of my little brother's football games in all types of weather. If you click on the picture, and then on the right side where it gives the photo number, date, and size, click on "more info" and it will give you the camera settings. As you'll see there, I have a Rebel XT.
Have fun!

sports have so much hidden art form in them...for outdoors i suggest NOT using a digital camera. I would focus on things you dont normally; in the rain zoom in on cleats....in the sun focus on the sideline players... any weather makes a good picture and so settings would be the feild they play on.
