A sidelines pass. You just cannot achieve great sports photography shooting from the stands.
Here are some YouTube videos with excellent sports photography information:

Really agree with this.
I am mainly a landscape, wildlife and portrait photographer but did have an occassion a while back to photograph a Kite Surfing competition.
As an ex surfer and boardsailor, I could really anticipate where the action was going to be for shots in the right spot on a wave.
Got some really great shots.
