Drink onboard and dance in competitive game in sarcastic fashion (10)

I believe the answer is:

sportsball

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink onboard' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'dance in competitive game in sarcastic fashion' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'dance' could be 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance) and 'ball' is located in the answer.
'game' could be 'p' (I have seen 'French game ' mean 'p' so perhaps 'game' could also mean 'p') and 'p' is found within the answer.
'fashion' could be 'sort' (I've seen this before) and 'sort' is found within the leftover letters.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
