Most of my photography has been of relatively stationary subjects, where I just use single-servo AF and either focus & recompose or move the single focus point to where in the frame I want the subject, or largely-individual sports like triathlon.

If you have enough light, close your aperture to something like f10 or higher, and increase your ISO to some value where you're comfortable with the noise, like 6400.
