Shadowbeat (or maybe the A Killing Glare module, I can't quite remember
which one) has some general guidelines on the game mechanics of sports. It's
mainly just making some Athletics tests to throw and/or catch the ball.
Urban Brawl is easy enough, most players are more involved in maiming the
opposition than in actually playing the ball :)

Anyway, if I were you I'd buy Shadowbeat and A Killing Glare (or, if you're
not a GM, ask your GM to buy that last one), which at least gives a good
feel for urban brawl and some other combat sports.

I just remembered something... I once did a write-up of what I called
"suburban brawl," basically an illegal variant of urban brawl played in
suburban areas without asking the permission of anyone even remotely
involved in such things :) The idea was to build an adventure around it but
I haven't so far. I'll post them here I think (if I can still find them :),
or maybe it's something for NERPS: Underworld?
