The problem is you have an M16 nose with a watergun trigger. You need to upgrade to a used D200 or a D300. The focusing capability of the d40 can not keep up with the type of photography you're doing. D40 is good for taking pics of pets and the family's rascals running around. Definitely not for sports photography (no offense). If you really want to invest on a body, go for a D7000 or the D300s for a more pro feel.
Just to add on to this, if your tight on cash, a used d200 would serve you great. It's a more pro body, and has roughly the same IQ as a d40. They go on eBay all day every day for around $400. You could probably get $200-250 for your d40 so the upgrade would only cost you $150-200. And you'd be getting a camera that's 10 times better for what you're shooting.
