Batting cages, putting greens, driving ranges, Pitching cages (usually behind a baseball stadium), and interestingly - horse practice tracks - have all come up in my mapping and faces similar issues.
There must be some way of saying this object is for practice, and then Identify the sport. In places with horse racing (San Diego, CA and Narita, Japan), the surrounding region is usually full of horse ranches. 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. Similar to a pitchers mound behind the stadium, a basketball hoop on a tree in the park, or a batting cage, It replicates part of the sport for the means of practice. We should have a generic tag for that, or a bunch of explicit tags to put on each type of facility/object. Some are lucky - golf=* has a ton of documented values, so it is easy to put specific values under - but others may not.
