In order to catch the action you're going to need to do shutter priority and make sure you're fast enough there and hope the lens lets in enough light.
The "cheap starter" lenses that came with some of the Nikon cameras were actually quite good. I actually bought the 18-200VR lens but took it back when I had my D70. I just didn't like the feel or look of the shots I got. But I am not the typical user and most love the lens.
The lens that is on my K20d most of the time these days is a 35mm ltd macro, but I'm whack...

The starter lenses was Quantary....about as basic/cheap as you can get.
