sports centres

Where teams practice

Sports centres (British spelling; American: sports centers) are public or private facilities housing multiple athletic amenities under one roof—typically a gymnasium, swimming pool, fitness equipment, and courts for various games.

They serve communities as hubs for recreation and exercise: The council built a new sports centre with an Olympic-sized pool.

Unlike specialized gyms, sports centres offer diverse activities for all ages and skill levels.
