Which code does this activity belong in?
Sports teams and clubs that participate in organized team sports like baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and soccer are classified here, regardless of whether they own their playing facilities. The boundary separates this code from racetrack operations, which are classified in Racetracks, and from independent athletes and racing vehicle owners who compete individually or enter their own animals or equipment in events, which are classified in Other Spectator Sports.
