I may put forward a related experience and different outcome. I shoot volley-ball and the sport centre lighting is the key to my lens selection. First I tend to prefer fast prime lenses. [I know that the OP want to use a zoom.] Fast means f1.4 to f2.8. Second the lighting: in poor light conditions (eg some school sport hall), the AF can be pretty bad, even with a fast AF lens (eg FA77mm). In these conditions, I would tend to shoot with a fast MF lens. I pre-focus the lens to where I would shoot, wait for the action and do tiny AF adjustment manually. I also use HI continuous shooting (8.3 fps on my K-3). This technique works well for me, when I can sit close to the action: e.g., on the team substitute bench, behind the referee.
Hope that the comment may help.
