Its a series of three or four pictures that the cameraman meticulously cuts together in post-production. If you look at the photo posted above, you can see the "natural" spaces between every 3-4 players. The photographer set them up in a way that would allow him to piece it together using the immobile background as a guide.
We took one of these at West Point in 2002. The photographer did exactly what I explained above and told us all to try and smile the same way each time. Imagine how well that went with nearly 1000 anxious cadets. We did have 3-4 cadets sprint behind the bleachers from one side to the other and ended up in the photo twice.
