After OP, you guys might want to brush up on your sports photography. I believe there will be a LOT of sports events to cover during the first half of next year. Its good to get yourself familiarised with a few sports, be it soccer, softball, basketball etc, then you can go cover a few sports events and let the common shooters take a rest (except me. i'm not going anywhere).
Can go join soccer for their practice, or watch badminton in the hall etc. For example, today I went with Kelvin and Christopher to shoot rugby. Quite fun =P
