2 things you need for night shots with action on a digital camera. Fast shutter speed and a good flash.
To stop action, flash and a good fast shutter speed are going to be needed. Without flash, 1/500th of a second and quicker is required to freeze frame and that (at night) is going to be hard (if not impossible to get without flash or lots of ambient light).
If you don't mind blurring, you can shoot slower shutter speeds.
The S5200 can increase the ISO sensitivity to help attain that shutter speed. You can increase the ISO up to 1600, but I will warn you, each increase in ISO sensitivity will mean more noise in the image (less image quality). 1600 is going to be fairly noisy to unusable..
The zoom on the S5200 is 10X, but the on-camera flash isn't going to work too hot at the full zoom range. An external or larger flash would be recommended if you are zooming out..
Keep in mind however, that action photos taken with flash might be prohibited in some sports events.
The S5200 also has image stabilization features that will help you in lower light shots where you have to zoom out to capture the action.
