#5 is the best, its the only shot caught at the right moment
others are boring / nothing going on
1st has no focus
shoot a game a you will get a few far superior shots to these

this.

wasnt sure if it was my eyes because i just woke up but i thought most of these were out of focus.

i suggest grabbing a telephoto lense like a 70-200 or similar if you are really interested in sports/wildlife photography. im picking one up sooner or later. it will really help you because of its zoom, although they are a bit heavy so i also suggest getting a tripod.

im getting the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM or the f/4.0 havent made up my mind yet. either way its about a 1600$ lens.

Thank you both for the advice!

i never use my tripod with that lens, and you cant use one for sports as it reduces your movement and speed, hand holding is no problem at all, alternatively use a monopod

Try not to get backs and butts when shooting sports, unless of course there is a certain type of shot you are going for that require that.

okay thanks!
