Hey!

I am so excited to try out this lens. I plan to take some soccer-action shots with it. Its indoor but the light condition I believe is pretty good. Its bright in there. Is there an tips you guys could give me? Thank you for your time!

Try to keep your shutter speed above 1/320. Preferrably 1/500 to stop action.

Indoor sports is not a strong point for the f/4L IS.

Also use center point and AI Servo to AF.

This. Also don't follow the players with your viewfinder. Instead, estimate where the player will be, compose slightly beforehand, focus and shoot.

Even if it is not a low light lens, look what I did:

You're sexy tho.

You like my jumps?

If it comes from you, I'll take anything.

Wait.. that's bialator? I always assumed that bialator was a guy

I don't know about that...She's going to have issues keeping the shutter speed high enough. The only way to get sharp pictures will likely be to pan with the players. This will result in blurrier background but sharper players rather than sharp background with blurry players.
