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

'sport activity' is the definition.
'wrestling' can be an answer for 'activity' (wrestling is a kind of activity). I'm not certain of the 'sport' bit.

'remainder left in wing' is the wordplay.
'remainder' becomes 'rest' (synonyms).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'rest'+'l'='restl'
'restl' put inside 'wing' is 'WRESTLING'.

'for a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
