Tighter crop on a few of them would make them much better, otherwise nice shots.

You have got the action but not the focus

Thanks... Some of them I cropped from a larger image...

I used the auto focus on the lens on all the shots...

Should I be using the manual focusing on the lens?

No, i would say your camera and lens are not capable of keeping up with the action

What were the camera settings for these photos? shutter speed etc.

It's not down to shutter speed 1/800 would be fast enough for most of them

What if... in #1.... you dropped the saturation a bit and sharpened it a little... Then re-cropped it... Kinda like this...

I used an unconventional crop... But I just wanted to show a "for example".

 

[imagemaker46]

Those settings should have had everything sharp and stopped, I would say that the lens just isn't focusing fast enough.

If you are going to shoot sports, the 70-200 f2.8 is really worth the investment. That lens focus's really fast. Your body is ok but again not designed for sports.
