You wouldn't use a flash for outdoor sports.
Yes, the 70-200mm is the lens you're looking for.

Your excellent use of punctuation makes your original post so easy to read... :rolleyes:

You're not going to get a faster 200mm lens. Define "dark".

I question whether it's a practical lens for a club, actually. Isn't that a big heavy lens that you sort of would be advised to have a monopod for?

The 70-200mm f/2.8 is a great lens, even for indoor shooting. I use it indoors for press conferences and such. Very good in low light situations. It also has very good reach.

I would use an 85mm f1.8 or a 50mm f1.4. You could buy both and another body for the price of the 70-200 f2.8
