I have the a6300 and have all three Sigma 2.8 art primes. They're a bargain at $200 or less for each. Also the 18-105G and a Hassalblad ? rebadged Sony 18-250. The 2 zooms may be a problem when using the on camera flash close up as their length blocks the flash. My go-to lens is the 18-105. Very sharp.

I traded the Sony 18-105 G Series for the newer 18-135 and have been loving it. No regrets and only relief. It's lighter, faster, and in my honest opinion (probably due to my inability to properly stabilize the 18-105), it's sharper. I may have had a bad copy of the 18-105 lens, but the 18-135 just works well in so many situations, including lower light without flash.

Best all round lens for those situations would be the 18-105mm f/4.0 or the 18-135mm. I would probably opt for the 18-135 if I didn't already have the 18-105.
For graduation pics and Boston parties (patties) the Sony 35mm f1.8 is what I use. The equivalent (30mm?) Sigm Art is highly rated and cheaper.
Your choice for a dedicated 'sports' lens is a bit limited on the A6000. The 55-210 is the most economical and convenient option. You can extend the range out to 400mm by using the Clear Image Zoom setting. A longer lens is going to be very front heavy on the A6000. Heavier lenses are OK if you are hand holding, but I wouldn't use a heavy lens on a tripod. The A6000 body is polycarbonate and the bottom will flex to an alarming degree with a heavy lens on a tripod.
I bought most of my lenses used on eBay and never had a problem. If they don't work out or you decide to trade up, you can usually sell them again on eBay at close to what you paid. If you use KEH or MPB you will typically pay more initially and get 1/2 or less when you trade.

I own these Sony 50 and Sigma 35 and depend on how wide I plan on working. Keep in mind the Sigma is not OSS and if you are trying to catch images as opposed to set ups be sure the SS is fast enough.
I use the 55-210 for surfers and dogs with good success. For tack sharp probably need to move to FF but my images seldom get printed more than 8x10 and my viewers like them.

When I bought my A6000 a couple of years ago I also bought all three Sigma 2.8 art primes.

Sharp as a tack images, small, light weight, available in 19mm, 30mm, 60mm which on the Sony translates to 28mm, 45mm, 90mm (35mm equivalent) and quite inexpensive.

I highly recommend taking a serious look at them.

It my go to lens for general use but its a little short for most sports. Add the 70-200 f4 and you have it covered.

The 16-70 is the lens that is normally on my a6000 -- a really sharp IQ with a practical range.

Like others, I have also found the inexpensive 55-210 telephoto to be more than adequate. It is not good in low light, but it is lightweight, versatile, and takes excellent photos in good light. All the shots of the Blue Angels and backyard wildlife on my Shutterfly page (below) were taken with the 55-210.
