you need to bump your shutter speed up even if it means having to bump your ISO up... I prefer to stay at 1/800th or faster. shoot in Aperture Priority and set your ISO to like 250 and f stop as wide open as your lens can and you'll get some amazing results, bump up the ISO if it starts getting a slower shutter speed...

Don't be afraid to get hit.
Protect your gear, but come to the realization that your camera or lens might take a hit. Best you can do is get multiple UV filters for your lenses, this way those get broken instead of your lens.
What I liked to do was watch 1 or 2 points of Xball before taking some serious pictures of teams so you can see who goes where etc...
Once you get get the feel for what works keep shooting!
