My family has joined a sports club in our city for 3 years. Twice a week, om Wednesday and Saturday, we come to the sport club.. The sports club was built in 1990. it has 1200 active members now. 800 of them are adults and the rest are teenagers and children under 10 years. The owner of the sport club is Mr. Jhon. He is a Briton who has became an Indonesian citizen after getting married to an Indonesian woman Mrs. Layla.
We can do all kinds of sports in that sports club, such as swimming, jogging, bowling, tennis, badminton and exercising. We do not have to pay everytime we visit that sports club because as members we have paid for a year in advance.
The sports clubs lies in a very large area. It has one football field with a jogging track around it, an international standard swimming pool, two basketball courts, three tennis courts, a big gymnasium with four badminton courts in it, and a fitness room with modern and complete equipments in it. It is very modern sports club and ine of the best in South East Asia.
Every morning many people come to jogging track. Some of them also play football. The football field and jogging track are free. People who come do not have to pay enjoy these facilities. My father and my mother love tennis. They play it with their friends in the sport club everytime they come. Besides tennis, they sometimes play badminton too. In my father’s opinion playing badminton is more tiring than playing tennis, but it also offers more fun.
I love swimming very much. Every time we come to the sport club, I swim first. Since I was a child the swimming pool officers do not allow me to swim in the adult swimming pool because it is so deep for me and they are afraid that the kids like me can down. After that, I play basketball with other children who come with their family also. We play happily and sometimes do the slamdunk like NBA starts.
Once a year, the sports club always organizes sports competitions among its members. The kinds sports are badminton, tennis, swimming, bowling, basketball, and football. My parents won the tennis competition once. They won mixed doubles last years. I have not anything yet, but I promise this year I have to win one of them because the prizes are very good for a kid like me.
