Level, contrast cropped, sharpened, sized. Used my teleconverter to get in a little tighter.

There's good potential here, but I would have cropped in MUCH tighter on the player making the catch. The crowd doesn't really add to the shot, and the opposing player is far enough out of the frame that I would have cropped him out, too.

Nice action shot, I only find the background a bit too messy... a tighter crop might have been better.
