funny thing I tried my scenery setting at the last of game, the color looks amazing & so clear, any advice would be very helpful, TY

Are you matching your white balance with the type of light bulbs.

Actualy I didn't even think of hat, I seen the white setting & I feared it would give to much light, like over exposure, thank you so very much, How does that setting work & when is it necessary to use?

Which camera you have. There pretty much alike but . When u seen the brownish tent I knew. I get that when I forget. Also try auto too. Some are internal adjustment some have button on back of camera. You still can use pp to adjust these.

I think you are confusing your shutter speed with your ISO setting. For these little kids a shutter speed of 1/320 should be plenty. Open lens up as far as you can and adjust ISO to what you need. White balance could be adjusted after shooting but better if done before . I would guess a custom setting of about 3800 degrees K or set it according to the type of lights they have.

One other tip on technique. Watch your perspective to level. Some of your shots they appear to be running uphill. You could crop and level in post, but easier to be aware thru viewfinder when shooting. I've learned it helps to get low. My knees don't like, but you get better shots!
