The reason why you're sore is you're using muscles you don't normally use...in your case (to be sore for THREE days afterwards), you've severely overworked your quads.

The remedy to this is to let the soreness subside, then start doing squats with no weight, perhaps some lunges as well. Move up to using light weights and work from there. Try and do this every other day, keeping in mind those nights when you have games to call. This will strengthen, tone and prepare your muscles for plate games and the required running in the field.

You don't get in shape overnight, it takes time.
