Try putting the camera in aperture priority and than set the aperture to the maximum your lens will support eg., f3.5. Than set the camera to iso1600. Lastly, take a picture at 1/100 and check the exposure. If it is bright enough than you can set the shutter faster so try 1/250, than 1/500 etc until you get the action stopped. You might not need to go to 1/1000 to get the action stopped. Generally, set the shutter speed to the fastest setting you can and still have a bright or "properly exposed" print. If your subject is still blurred (because you can't use a fast enough shutter) than you need to get a lens that is capable of going to a wider aperture. I fast lens that is on ebay for under $100 is the Minolta 50mm f1.7.
