Thanks,

High ISO (depending on the lights of course), fast Shutter Speed (1/1000), get your WB set properly, Shoot RAW and use PP to adjust as necessary. Depending on how much "in focus" you want, shoot appropriately : wide open (dof), middle of the road (f/8-f/11), or everything in focus (f/18-f/22) .... Might also consider turning AF to OFF and just manually focusing/zooming. and have Fun ...

Is this what you were asking for?

It would help to know what gear you will be using.

If you forsee a play at second, steal situation and such, I like to auto focus on the bag at second and then switch to manual and when the play happens your ready for the play.
