You guys and gals be easy on me. I dove in head first and choose the hardest thing to learn first, action shots in low light.

Paul, you have a great eye for the action. Nice, like all three. What a difference daylight makes! Allows greater depth of field as illustrated in the second shot and fast shutter speed and lower ISO. A suggestion: since sometimes you have little to no control over the background consider trying a wide open aperature next time for shots like the first and third to better isolate your subject from the background. ;)
I did that at the last ball game and had some success. Jpg 1 & 3 were both shot at max zoom (f7/300mm) on the TV setting. I think I might have had the ISO at 800 Every game the sun is going down quickly so I am having to constantly bring the shutter speed down. The lights at our stadium are horrendous. This shot I raised the aperture +2

Great lens. Just sent mine to the shop. Wife dropped it.

Here are a few shots I have taken this year. New to action shooting so I am gradually updating my lenses as I get the extra cash. I have been trying to shoot all of our ball games this year from Jr Hi up to Varsity as we move on to playing for state 1 A in Texas

I am getting better with what I have. Hope to get some faster lenses next year. Here is one that made the local news paper this year.

My name is Paul, I am an amature photographer. I got into it to take picture of my kids. And I ended up shooting mainly action shots of the kids and the football and basketball teams. Shooting under bad lighting with in stadiums and gyms seems to be the majority of my shots. They get better as I improve on my lenses. I look forward to all the advise I can get. The pictures I posted were all using a 70-300mm at max zoom at around f/5 to f/6 on the TV setting of the camera shutter speed varied on the lighting.
