why are you taking these pictures?

Do you need a couple of good pictures from each game, and it does not matter what team looks better? Or do you need two hundred good photographs, making sure every player is the subject of a good picture?

Where are you going to be? Row ten, at mid-court? On the floor down at one end near the net?

That matters.

Do you know what noise means?

If you are on the floor, buy a 50mm f1.8 lens, set your camera at ISO 1600, set your aperture at f2.8 using aperture preferred exposure. Let the camera set its own exposure time.

Use continuous autofocus, and shoot two or three pictures at a time.
