Olympus Evolt

How do I increase the ISO setting on my Olympus Evolt E-500?
I have an evolt-e-500 dslr. I have tried to take pictures of my daughter's gymnastics and son's hockey. With the hockey, I can't get the ISO setting above 400 and therefore the pictures are not in very good focus unless I get lucky. With my daughter, I get a similar issue, but it stays dark and blurry. I can't increase the lights in either location and I can't use a flash in gymnastics. Any suggestions on how to better catch sports in a moderately lit indoor area and how, specifically, to do it on a Evolt E-500? Thanks!
You can change the ISO by pressing the ISO button (down arrow on back of camera) and switching it. It won't let you go above ISO 400 unless you turn the ISO Boost on. You can do this by going into your "Setup Menu 1" and turning it on. You might also want to turn it to ON+NF (Noise Filter) to reduce the extra noise you're going to get at ISO 500 or above.
If you don't want to boost your ISO, you can take the pictures in aperature priority mode and open up the aperature as wide as it will go (low numbers like f/3.5 rather than f/22) This will let more light in, but it decreases your depth of field. You just have to be more careful about focusing correctly to ensure a sharp shot.
Also, if you can, use a flash or a bounce flash to illuminate the scene.
