[Tagging] How to tag cricket nets?

[johnw]

I’m very hesitant to mix “exercise” and “Practice”  in any way.

When I hear exercise, I think of aerobics or pull-up bars or something - like the exercise stations. Those are usually stand-alone facilities or small little constructions for the sole purpose of muscle training. 

These practice fields are for practicing a specific action of your sport (putting, pitching, hitting, running), but not the complete sport - or in rare circumstances, the actual race/event facility itself - eg: a sumo ring, is a common outdoor venue at temples in my town, but the sumo ring at my school is not a competition venue, it is just for training, and should not be marked as a stadium or venue, as that is misleading.

we might want to come up with a sub-key of pitch (leisure=pitch + pitch=practice), as they are still pitches, but a special version of pitches. prctice=* could contain a few values, but this idea might overlap with other keys (like golf=putting_green in golf to practice your putting skill). 

I’m not sure, but whatever the solution, we should keep it far away from “exercise”. I think leisure=exersise_station is a good value for those stations. Then an exersise_station=* for all the different kinds of stations (pull-up bars, sit-up bench, push-up bars, etc). I imagine there are 5-10 basic values - but my knowledge (and usage!) is very limited.

Their horse stables often have small ovals around the grazing fields and horsewalkers to practice running the horses - but it is nota private racetrack - so I really hesitated to tag track on it (I put a circular pitch + sport=[horse something] on it).  The oval is just for running them, not actually racing them (no other horses are there to race), nor is the facility meant for racing - it is a training facility for the horses to be ready for visiting the actual racetrack.
