IMHO we should suggest both, building=sports_hall for any sports hall
building and leisure=sports_hall if it is also used as a sports hall.
I'm unsure about indoor pitches, but would tend to require an indoor
specific key.

I agree with restricting the usage of leisure=sports_centre to sports
centres. I would also acclaim a restriction of leisure=pitch to pitches.
There seem to be recommendations to tag table tennis tables as pitches, and
someone proposed this even for tables where you can play chess. IMHO it
would be clearer to write explicitly in the wiki: "use leisure=pitch for
sports fields" or something along these lines.

Cheers,
Martin
