sports activities
Competitive physical pastimes
Physical pursuits involving exercise, competition, or recreation—games, athletics, and outdoor pastimes requiring bodily movement.
The phrase is somewhat redundant, since sports are by definition activities, but it emphasizes participation over spectating: The camp offers various sports activities for children.
Common in institutional contexts like schools, community centers, and travel brochures.
