Where beginner in sports goes? (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leisure centre

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

'where' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'beginner in sports goes?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'beginner' could be 'l' (as in a learner driver with L-plates on their car) and 'l' is present in the answer.
'goes?' could be 'is' (going is a kind of being) and 'is' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leisure centre that I've seen before include "Recreational complex" , "modern building, for fun?" , "Sports and recreation complex" , "fitness club" , "Public place for sport and recreation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
