'a form of athletic turnover' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a season fixed by' is the wordplay.
'a season' becomes 'summer' (summer is a season).
'fixed' becomes 'set' (both can mean decided or determined).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'summer'+'set'='SUMMERSET'
