Re: Go in for with sports
Is it possible to say: I USUALLY do not go in for sport. / I don't go in for sport REGULARY??
(with the meaning "I don't usually do any sport.)

You have been given an answer already. Read Bamako6's post again. You can also check this out:

It's more about liking sport, than doing sport.

Yes, it's possible (and quite natural) to say "I don't usually go in for sport".
Re: Go in for with sports
Since it's a thread about sport, I hope noone minds me asking a question here.
Can we also say 'Do you do any sports?"

Sorry for being a nerd, but would that mean "I don't do any sports"? or would it sound more like "I don't like to do sports"? In what situation could one say "I don't go in for sport"?
Will the following conversation sound natural:
- Do you go in for sport?
- Yes, I do.
_ What sport do you go in for?
- Basketball.
Can I ask someone "Do you go in for sport" to find out what sport they do regulary? (Mind: I am interested in what sport they do, not in what sport they like!) Thank you in advance. I bet this question of mine is crucial to thousands of Russian teachers, because many of them can't comprehense this collocation "go in for sport", but almost all Russian children are taught it at school as a way to say "I do (not like to do!) a sport activity(ies) regulary".
