Yep. Not nice...

Leisure=sport_practice ... would not indicate the facility - e.g. pitch 
or track... particularly if only a node were tagged.
The add sub tag for sport.

So
leisure=sport_practice
sport=cricket  ....

No does not indicate cricket_nets ... ummm

leisure=*
sport_practice=cricket_net .. and can takes on all the other values of 
sports...

So the leisure key is still used .. and indicates pitch, track etc but 
has a new sub key taht can be used to indicate _only_ practice is 
available here.

Od course the sport= key would continue and would probably indicate that 
practice can take place there too.

PS .. I have taken an editorial pen to
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dfitness_station
and depreciated the 'recommended' tags 'sport=fitness' and 
sport=exercise' as none of them are 'sports' nor are they documented.
