I agree with the first half of the scope, but I'm not sure about the second half mainly because it seems like we are limiting the questions to only address a certain part of the sport (rules, regulations, practices, minutia) and not other parts of the sport (training, physical activity, technique).

The F&N FAQ has the following:

Fitness - Stack Exchange is for fitness professionals, athletes and trainers. If you have a question about

 
  • improving your exercise performance or technique

    improving your exercise performance or technique

     
  • choosing a training program

    choosing a training program

     
  • nutrition as it relates to exercise

    nutrition as it relates to exercise

     
  • gear and gadgets used during exercise

    gear and gadgets used during exercise

     
  • achieving physique milestones

    achieving physique milestones

     
  • injury prevention

    injury prevention

This to me sounds more like the physical activity questions suited for F&N are more along the lines of physical fitness, physical training or just general exercise which is different than questions about the physical techniques used in a particular sport. For example, I think that this question would be off-topic at F&N and should be on-topic here:

Difference between one gap and two gap techniques for defensive linemen

I think that both of these can coexist on the same site, but we just need to make a clear distinction between fitness for the sake of fitness and training for a particular sport.

Here is my proposed revision to your original scope:
