If they are roughly where they are in your photos that you post, and with
AFS lenses, sure. All seem to be roughly in the same plane of focus. You
need to let the camera lock in on one guy, and then wait for the action that
you want to photograph. The VR in the lens will also give you an additional
1.5 stops relative to VR in the body. What you shoot is not very different
from team sports.
Cheers
