Some motion blur shots would be great. Go for a slow shutter speed and that trailing curtain flash setting. I would try 1/15th second, but you'll have to pan with the motion. Low light is good, because you'll want plenty of illumination from the flash to get the frozen part of your frame. With luck, you could get perhaps ISO 100 and f8 ambient light reading. Then adjust flash compensation as necessary to get the result you want.
Once you have some of those, you can crank the ISO way up to 6400 and get some frozen action shots with no flash. You'll probably want a 1.500th shutter speed for that.
