Sounds like you need to crank up the ISO and live with a bit more noise on the shots

If you're using the kit lens then unfortunately there's nothing much you can do about that, you really need fast (read expensive) lenses for that situation...

I just learned to love noise I shoot rugby at ISO 800 or 1600 outside with an f2.8 lens, realised that shooting for a paper makes noise kinda irrelevant but composition vital

You should be able to get some good shots with your kit lens, try setting the camera to shutter priority and set the shutter speed to around 1/100 or go for fully manual with a wide as possible aperture (low F number) and as high a speed shutter as you can get away with. Also shoot in raw so you can under expose slightly and pull it back in lightroom.

I dont know anything about your camera though so dont know if I am helping much here.

Thats what I would do anyway

I photographed an amateur leagur cup final at Molineux last year and all I was getting was 1/400th at f4 and 1600ISO, that why the pro's have f 2.8 zooms for occasions like this
