Answer:
There are many sports that utilize geometric shapes to help mark out the specific areas of play. Take a look at the soccer pitch below, the field of play is made up of quadrilaterals, rectangles, 90 degree angles, and circles. Furthermore, these soccer pitches, tennis courts, and basketball courts have mirror symmetry.

Furthermore, these soccer pitches, tennis courts, and basketball courts have mirror symmetry.
Explanation:
The simplest examples I could give you are:
- A cricket ground is not a perfect circle but ellipse. So a batsman can hit a boundary along the shortest distance without much effort. Same goes with baseball.
- In football, the players, who aren't mathematicians, calculate by mind the angle with which the kick should be made before finesse-ing the ball towards a person or the goal. Same, in basketball.
- Golf, a best example for parabolic motion. Taking account force, wind action and distance.
- While setting the distance for the race course, the starting lines are set according to the distances so that the circumferences of the circle as the circles are concentric and increasing outwards.
- While cycling and other forms of racing , with the experience they ride towards the inner most lane of the track to cover the least distance to complete soon. They also decide by virtue of their experience, the amount of tilt needed while going at a particular speed for stability.
- In badminton, before smashing, they rise to a certain height well before, form a perfect right angled triangle to direct the shuttle towards a point so that the opponent can't take it.
