You should check your camera instructions. If the camera is set to have a shutter speed below 1/60 second then any motion will blur including film cameras. Many people get excited at competition and with lightweight, digital cameras, they have a tendency to push too hard on the shutter button. This causes the camera to move while the shutter is open and hence the blurring. Being zoomed in for a closeup makes the problem even worse. So, set your shutter speed for 1/125 or higher if you can, get closer to the action, and gently press the shutter. Some photographers will tell you to take a breath and hold it while you press the shutter and then release.
Wait, so 1/125 is higher then 1/60? How can things get blurrier by being further below 1/60th second? Doesn't shorter exposure time lead to less blurry pictures?

Silly cameras.
