Since I started this discussion I will let you all know my settings that I use for the home gym. I use continuous high shooting at 1/250 sec. (shutter priority) which will give me an f2.8 to 4, ISO set to 1600, group dynamic focus pattern one. I usually stand between the 3 point arc and the key and always on the opposite that the referee is standing. I shoot jpeg normal-medium, which gives about 1600 shots per game (more than what my battery will last). I do not use the preview as the action is to fast. I use matrix metering. I do have a preset WB for the home gym but rarely use it.
