Which code does this activity belong in?
Sports and recreation instruction establishments offer athletic training and coaching to groups rather than individual participation in competitive events. The boundary with fine arts schools is that sports instruction focuses on athletic activities, while fine arts schools teach visual and performing arts. Establishments providing instruction in non-athletic subjects such as driving, public speaking, or academic tutoring are classified in all other schools and instruction, not in sports instruction.
