I believe the answer is:

lawn tennis

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

'lots of rallies at this?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'lenin wasn't involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'lenin'+'wasnt'='leninwasnt'
'leninwasnt' with letters rearranged gives 'LAWN TENNIS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lawn tennis that I've seen before include "Court game" , "court action results" , "sport" , "Wimbledon game" , "Real alternative" .)
