G15 sports/action mode advice

I upgraded this week from the PowerShot G9 to the G15.  The G15 is much, much better at low light as I had hoped, and the movie mode is much better.  The only thing I'm missing is the sports mode, as I would use it to avoid blur.

As I understand the manual in AUTO mode the camera will detect motion and adjust the ISO/shutter for higher speed appropriately, and this seems to work, but sometimes I don't have time to pre-focus and am missing shots that sports mode would get me.  Also I generally use "P" rather than AUTO.

Presumably there's a similar "crutch" setting as sports mode that will get what I want.  Any advice?
