Depends how timely / accurate your finger is to press the shutter button. From what I can see in the photos you've just posted, I guess you are very good at selecting the right moment. I'm not as good as you are, so I tend to use a burst mode.

As you want to control shutter speed and lighting may vary (more change than at a sport stadium), TAv Auto ISO is the setting I'd use.
If I understand correctly, you don't have a fast short tele lens, but you do have a fast wide.
Work around the f4 limitation of the 60-250 by observing subject motion and playing with shutter speed.
Normally, shutter speed of 1/500 or faster needed to freeze fast motion. But in slower motion, 1/250 may be sufficient.
Pay attention to when the subject motion stops (subject motion is often not linear: acceleration, deceleration and low motion point), AF and shoot a burst when the subject is in its slower motion situation.
With the 60-250 f4, you can also intentionally use slow shutter speed to create blur, sense of motion in the photograph.
Be prepared to discard a lot of photos, have freshly fully charged battery, battery backup, or battery grip and deep SD cards, not to get limited by how many photos will be taken.
