Low light is hard enough with stills. If you are trying to stop action you must of course use a faster shutter speed. I would imagine that with a 300 zoom your f stop is probably 5.6 or 8. If it is then you are not getting enough light. You can buy faster pro film and push it if your lab will do that for you and then you could shoot at 3200. Remember though, the faster you shoot, the grainier the picture. You may need a faster lens. I shoot with a 200mm 2.8 Canon lens and even that is difficult. Good luck.
