But if you're looking for an effect that could plausibly rearrange social groups in age-segregated communities, sports fits the bill.

There is a much stronger cause for that, namely it being effectively school policy to arrange social groups by age.

Sorry, I was unclear. I mean, in an already age-segregated community, such as a school, sports might conceivably rearrange social groups.

I doubt they would have that effect in a multigenerational community. Your family and your work trump team sports as social signifiers.
