Fast Zoom for Nikon D60

[Buckeye Bob]

I am looking for a fast zoom lens for my d60 in the 70-200 f2.8 range. I would like to spend $1,000 or less. I am somewhat of a newby and am confused as to which lenses will work on my camera and still operate as AF. I am looking to use to shoot indoor sports of my son's basketball and my daughter cheerleading. Please help and offer up any suggestions for good lenses that will work for me both Nikon or other brands.

Thanks,

I have done some research on this topic and find that Nikon do a superb 2.8 lens with VR, but it is very expensive at about 100 pounds sterling or 1600 US dollars. Sigma do a 70-200mm f2.8 at half the price and it does get a good write up. I would take a look at that first.
