[Flexible zone AF] or [1-point AF] is recommended for [AF area].
Because of the subjects move quickly from side to side, [Whole area tracking Servo AF] to set [Enable] makes framing easier and adjust the composition.
If the AF frame moves to an unintended subject, you can prevent unintended movement by changing the [Whole area tracking Servo AF] setting from [Enable] to [Disable].
Selecting a slightly wider [AF area] such as [Expand AF area] helps keep the subject in the AF area.
If the player tends to slip out of the AF area, it may be useful to set the [Case Auto characteristics] to [Locked on: -1] can help suppress focus switching.
Also, using [Register people priority] can make it easier to capture your desired subject.
