Today I played archery with my friends that I seldom used to play before this, so the context with my friends was :
A: Last time I went there was like 7 years ago
B: Same, I also didn't play for a long time
So I wondered if my usage (didn't play for a long time) was proper and correct since I meant that few years before today I didn't play archery. I hope my text is clear.
We don't speak of playing archery, but doing or taking part in it. You play sports that take the form of games, like tennis, football or cricket.
You could answer your friend
I haven't done archery for a long time either.
Didn't played and haven't play are both incorrect. You could say
After I left school I didn't play tennis for a long time, but I started again when I moved to [town].
...but if you are starting again today, you can say I haven't played for a long time.
