We use the verbs play, do and go with sports and activities.

Play is used with ball sports or competitive games where we play against another player or team.

Do is used for a recreational activity or a non-team sport that does not use a ball. It is also used with –ing sports when we “do not go anywhere”. It can be used with most sports as a synonym of “practice”.

Go is used with activities that end  in –ing when we go somewhere to do something.
