you dunno how to shoot or what?

whether Av, Tv or manual, as long as you get an appropriate aperture and shutter speed range then it will be fine. most people will tell you you need stuff like 1/125 s and faster to freeze action. or they will say, anticipate the action, use high fps, etc.

for lenses, use things like 70-200L and/or 100-400L lens for quick framing of the fast action. primes (300mm, 400mm) can also be used. all up to u to deploy your perspective and framing
