From this page and the link to the sister site below, it doesn't feel like there is a pattern to look for.

Can you please update this article or clarify how to actually tell when to use what?
What is the actual rule? Seems like we just memorize...

What is the actual rule? Seems like we just memorize...
This question relates to:French lesson "Faire de/jouer à : talking about sports, hobbies and leisure activities in French"

It feels like from looking at the other site, you use jouer with sports that involve moving a ball or small object of some kind.
Is this the pattern?
Only exception seems to be tennis which uses faire here but on the sister site it's paired with jouer, so thats odd
