If you need a new telephoto lens for sports photography, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Canon 300mm f/4L IS.

Start with the longest lens you can reasonably afford. Depending on the sport, a 70-200mm lens may be sufficient. But for sports that position photographers far from the action (such as football, soccer and baseball) you’re likely to prefer the results you get from a much longer lens—like a 300mm, 400mm or even 600mm.
What focal length is best for wildlife?
