sports center

Where teams practice

A sports center is a facility offering athletic amenities—gyms, courts, pools, or fitness classes—for public or membership use.

The term is flexible: it might describe a community recreation center with basketball courts or a large complex hosting professional events.

British spelling: sports centre.

The new sports center has an Olympic-sized pool.
