For your requirements I don't think a 70-200 would be long enough. The player would have to be pretty close to the side line if you want a full frame body shot at 200mm.

He has a crop body, so 200mm should be ok.

If you want to stick closer to $500, get the 70-200mm f4 non-IS. IS isn't that crucial if you are pretty stable and follow the 1/FL = SS rule or use a tripod/monopod.

For UWAs, Tokina 12-24mm or 11-16mm would be best, depending on what you want.

Again, grab a good condition used one, it'll save you tons of money and really lens is not something you absolutely need to buy new. Good places to buy are fredmiranda and potn classifieds.
