Don't put a space on either side of a slash. They're all grammatical, if that's what you're asking. I have a feeling you're not asking the right question.

I have seen the phrase 'do a lot of' with activities like jogging and yoga as in I do a lot of jogging. I mean if I can use it with sports like basketball, tennis or soccer?
 
You'll hear people say things like "I did a lot of tennis at school". However, "played" is more common and natural with the three sports you mentioned.
 
I think it's acceptable in colloquial English, but not written.
