TEXT of video lesson
“Play” a sport
We use “play” for team games, games with a BALL :
I play football on Saturdays
John plays rugby
Helen plays basketball
Monica has played hockey for over 15 years

We also “play” other sports where
we need an opponent:
Fred plays tennis.
Harry plays badminton.
Sandra plays golf. (go golfing is possible but not usually used by golfers themselves!!)
Henry has been playing snooker since he was a young boy.

and it’s used for board games and other games:
We always play poker on Friday nights.
Her children love playing Trivial Pursuits.
I sometimes play Scrabble with my students.
Max plays chess every week.

Note:
it is also possible to say to the place where I play
“Go” + sport +ing
We use “go” with a sport when the name of the sport is a verb in the gerund form. you have to go to another place/location
I go jogging every morning.
Mary goes swimming after work.
If the weather is good I go climbing with Gerry once a month.
Brian and Diana went fishing at the weekend.
Fred likes going sailing.

Note: of course when you are actively doing the sport you can say:
John is sailing at the moment.(present continuous)
I am jogging.
I am riding a horse.

“Do” + sports
We “do” sports that are more individual/indoors without a ball:
not team games
are Martial Arts
are leisure activities
Examples:
Monica does karate.
Dan does judo.
Gillian does aerobics.
Gary and Alice do athletics.
The twins did gymnastics last year.

Note: You can ask “What sports or free time activities do you do?”
People can answer
“I do football on Thursdays”
“I do swimming”
She does hockey (training) twice a week
** in this sense they see football and swimming (or any other sports) as activities, so it’s OK to use “do”.

Practise (sports – BE careful!!!!! ) in ENGLISH
Practise football can mean do football training
We practise penalties, free-kicks Passing, volleys So we do sports practice
