Camera for recruiting highlight?

Question for people who've been down this road or are on it now: What kind of camera did/do you use if you shot any of your own highlights?

Through his school, we have access (I think) to video from an elevated game camera for those games, but the quality of the competition in some will be so poor that I'd guess those highlights are of little value. So I plan to shoot my own from the two clubs my son plays for (one fall and spring, the other winter only).

I have a DSLR and am comfortable...
