"Best" really is subjective. While I am a big proponent of off-brand lenses like Tamron and Sigma, the Nikon lenses are made by the Nikon company for Nikon cameras, so they might have a better fit. You will spend more money for them though.
You also need to ask how much zoom you want. How far will you be from your subjects? How big of a close up do you want? The further away you are and the closer you want to zoom on your subjects, the longer the lens you'll need.
You will need to know the kind of conditions you'll be taking the photos in. If you're going to be outside, a tigheter aperture (higher f/ number) will suffice and not cost you as much, where if you're taking photos in lower light situations, or at indoor or evening sporting events, you'll want a lens with an aperture of f/2.8 or wider. This will cost you a lot more, but be worth the quality you get.
Knowing the answers to all of the above will help you pinpoint the lens you want to pick. I hope this has helped.
