    The dSLR is definitly the way to go, but be prepared to spend plenty for a nice fast zoom.

    Hi Ivelisse, taking photos indoor in low light of sports is just about the toughest thing to do.

    To do this well is really tough, because you need a fast shutter speed to freeze the action. You also need a longer zoom to get in close which with any non-pro lens will mean you're getting less light.

    I think to get good photos with the T3 you'd have to buy a lens like the Canon 70-200mm f/4 lens, for about $800. Even better would be the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 for $1,300. Either way its pretty pricey.

      A cheaper option is to go with the Canon EF 70-210mm f/4. You can find these used for about $100. The focus speed is much slower and it is soft at f/4, but not bad for non-professional work. Like WaterlooAlex said "better would be the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8". Lets in twice the light and focus is lightning fast, but costs 10 times as much.

    I would take the Nikon D5100, because of it's good low light performance and amazing image quality.
