Way back when I was still underage to buy intoxicating drinks I used to shoot the local teams for the national papers. We used to stick HP5 in the cameras and adjust everything to give us a minimum shutter speed of 1/500th. nothing else mattered. I would suggest trying the same but switch your auto focus to AI and another trick would be to keep both eyes open, it takes a bit of getting used to at first but I find it works well for all sports where "stuff" is moving fast.
