Son in digs bringing in girl for sport (13)

I believe the answer is:

skateboarding

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

'sport' is the definition.
(skateboarding is a kind of sport)

'son in digs bringing in girl' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'in digs' becomes 'boarding' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'bringing in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'girl' becomes 'kate' (girl's name).
's'+'boarding'='sboarding'
'sboarding' enclosing 'kate' is 'SKATEBOARDING'.

'for' is the link.
