Use manual settings, set shutter speed, focus length and ISO according to lighting.

Yeah that are just basic settings, nothing to do with manual or other modes on the camera and i really don't know what you mean with focal length because that has really really nothing to do with it, i think you mean aperture You could use Tv too. If you want to take pictures of fast moving objects. Your shutter speed is the most important thing, you want a fast shutter speed to freeze your object. How fater the shutter speed how less time the subject is projected on the sensor, the less movement could occure.

Tv let's you set the shutter speed and the camera does the rest. Perfect setting for beginners. IF you finally got some nice pictures, Look at the exif data and you could actually see what the settings of the camera were when you took that picture.

Things like:

Iso
Shutter speed(what you selected)
Aperture (f-number)
lighting(let the camera manage it, because it's a dificult task)

Once you get known to the settings and you get the photo out of it which you like, move on to manual and try different settings, all i could advice is. Take the fastest shutterspeed you could have( for fast moving objects) and to say it once again, try a lot of different settings. Because after all it's digital and the only downside of clicking some extra photo's and erase them is that your clickcount goes up.
