clubhouse

Where teams gather

A clubhouse is a building where members of a club gather for meetings, socializing, and activities.

Sports teams have clubhouses where players change, shower, and relax before and after games—these are also called locker rooms.

Golf courses typically have clubhouses serving as social hubs for members.

In children's usage, a clubhouse might be a backyard fort or treehouse where kids hold secret meetings.
