And, depending in the f value that is chosen, more of the shot could be in focus rather than just narrowly focusing on the subject?
Yes. I'm not familiar with the 50D, do you have the ability to automatically adjust ISO?

I think I missed the earlier conversation, but I've personally never heard of shooting action in Av mode. All the sports photogs I know either go full manual or shoot Tv, as did I when I was shooting sports.

Yes, there is an auto ISO speed mode. So probably set it to auto ISO, lock in a fast shutter speed, and let the camera calculate everything else?

That's what I would try. If you can set a max on the auto-ISO, I would set it around 3200-6400. Depending on how well the camera handles the noise, higher could be very noisy. But at 3200, you should still be able to get a decent shutter speed at your available f-stops, even indoors.

It's been a long time, but back in the early 2000s, I think I shot indoor basketball at 3200, 1/1000th in Tv mode regularly. Now 1/1000th wasn't always fast enough, but it's what I had to work with at the time.

After some more reading, it seems that the max ISO that the auto setting will go to is 1600. I'm not sure that would be high enough for indoor gymnasium-type shooting.

Hmmm. Bummer. I'd still give it a go in Tv mode. Play around. If you don't like the results, switch. Or manually bump up your ISO - Tv mode will adjust the aperture as needed.

Are you the one planning to shoot young gymnasts? You might get away with 1/500 - these aren't elite athletes, so using a high shutter speed won't be as imperative (important, but not as important when shooting pro or even college since kids just don't move as fast).

Well you might have just met your first sports photog who makes life easy with going Av over Tv. Again, DoF is king, and you hardly ever buy 2.8 glass without wanting to use it (for effect or low lighting).
