The kit lense isn't very fast f3.5 - 5.6, if you have $70 bucks Canons 50mm f/1.8 lense would be a cheap way to get a much faster lense.

If you increase the ISO you will get a faster shutter speed, and hopefully lose the motion blur. (but realize that setting ISO to 1600 you will have a larger grain in the image)

I also suggest trying AV mode and using the scroll wheel to set the aperature to as low a number as it will let you (probably 5.6 since you are probably shooting fully zoomed) (also realize that this will also give you a shorter depth of field, so make sure the camera is focusing on your target)

As for shooting tips Try to time stopped motion, that way even with a slower shutterspeed you will still get a good shot.
