Where sailors call for sport, maybe (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ports

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

'where sailors call' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is a plural noun.

'sport maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'sport' is an anagram of 'PORTS'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ports that I've seen before include "Places where people and merchandise enter or leave a country" , "Harbours" .)
