I suspect you will continue to get better at firing the exact number of shots you need!
As far as sending everyone all of your shots, whether you shoot in jpg or RAW or edit at all (and I STRONGLY advise using RAW since that allows you to make significant adjustments not available with jpg files), the free DPP software from Canon will allow you to quickly look at your images in Quick View mode and select the ones you want to keep.
You can mark the desired photos either with a star rating or a check mark in DPP and the two work a little differently. If everyone, including you, gets the same set of keepers then the star system works well. Just scroll through the photos in Quick Check and press the 1 key to mark each one you want to keep. The star method is hierarchical with a choice of 1 through 5 so it also is useful in creating supersets and subsets. If you want to create a smaller subset for everyone else, mark those with a 5 star rating and if you want a complete set of keepers in a folder for yourself mark the additional photos for you with a 4 star (or lower numeric rating). The selection system allows you to select a number plus everything higher so you can do the 5 star group for other parents and the 4 star and above for you.
But my preferred method is using the other DPP annotation/selection system with check marks instead of stars and those allow selection of a specific check mark.
For example, I always save images in RAW format and I process those through DPP (with a few going to Adobe for additional editing on occasion after DPP does the RAW conversion). For a few events, I will grab a few photos for the opposing team during post. So I use a system where I mark primary team photos with a check mark 1 during editing, other team only photos with a 2, and photos that would go to both with a three.
I then batch process from RAW to JPG in groups by selecting each check mark group separately and batching the jpg output into different working folders. Then it is easy to upload the three groups where they belong with a separate group of images for each team which includes their team specific photos plus those images going to both teams.
This sounds more involved than it is 🙂
I strongly suggest you shoot in RAW format for best results but even if you only save JPG output, DPP allows you to annotate via star or check mark as quickly as you can look at them. Then it is a matter of simply selecting the groups via DPP menu in order to copy/move the desired group into its own folder.
At a longer sports event, I may capture in the neighborhood of 1,500 images between three camera bodies. Using 1DX II and III bodies with L series glass, only a tiny number will not be focused on the athlete(s) of interest and a slightly higher number will be where I missed the key part of a play or there is a composition error in the way the athletes are shown. So probably there will be over 1,200 "good" images from this event but I will share at most somewhere in the 200-300 range and this number is that high only because I also try to capture every team member who is on the field during that event and for those who typically get little playing time then I will go heavy on them for the game that they do. I will also have probably 20-30 bench, coach, and other non-sports field photos in the mix.
At a recent track meet, two Canadian geese did a perfect low altitude flyby directly over the finish line during a 1,600 meter and they made the cut 🙂 As I noted on the link that I shared with the head track coach, "Unfortunately the USAF Thunderbirds were already booked but we were able to get a couple of stand ins to perform a high speed low level pass".
