When I have doubts about which word fits better in a phrase I look at a Concordancer. How can I know more about IT?

I searched for:

  1. “play sports” – 302 examples
  2. “do sports” – 36 examples
  3. “practice sports” + 3 examples

Based on that, I would go with “Playing sports”.

This is the concordancer I used: Corpus of Contemporary American English.
