For any sports photography you need the same things no matter what camera you are using. You need “fast glass” and you need zoom to get in the action. A good lens for indoor sports is the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens. It doesn’t have zoom and it’s a full frame lens which will give you a tighter field of view (153mm) on this crop sensor camera. If you don’t mind spending the money you can use a Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L II USM Lens. This lens will get you closer to the action and will have and even tighter field of view on the image (320mm equivalent). These lenses are considered fast because of the wide apertures letting in plenty of light o get the shutter to close fast, freezing the action. It lenses with the f/4 or and higher apertures will cause the shutter to stay open longer to let in light. The shutter closes slower, blurring the image you are trying to capture.
