Best lens for sports

Hi all. I recently purchased the xt-10 with the 18-55 mm lens. I would like to purchase a new lens for capturing my kid's activities. Mostly sports related. Can anyone suggest a lens best for "amateur" sports photography? I don't want anything too bulky or heavy. Thanks!

The answer is 'it all depends.' If it's the kind of sport where you can get right up close, a wide-angle lens produces powerful, dramatic images. I do a lot of skateboard photography and my preferred lens for that is a fisheye. But if it's the sort of sport where you're some distance away you'll need a telephoto. As a rule, get as close to the action as you can, and then pick the lens that lets you fill the frame. What sort of sports do you have in mind?
