Recording a kid's soccer match hands-free needs three things: a stable tripod, a camera that follows the ball without manual input, and a position that gives the camera a clean view of the pitch. The setup that works across 5v5, 7v7 and 11v11 is the same: half-way line, 2.5 to 3 metres high, framed wide for warm-ups then tightened for the match. Trackd handles the framing automatically.
