People often have nostalgic memories of their junior high and high school years. Working hard with your peers in the sport you choose may be one such memory. I was a member of the basketball team in high school, and I feel a strong sense of belonging to the club's alumni association even now, long after I graduated.

Everyone who has been in a sports club may have a story to tell. However, the activity differs from person to person. Some may have spent their days training intensely under the guidance of coaches, with a dream of becoming a professional in the future. Others may have tried to balance studies and sports, or just hung out in the club room and enjoyed talking with their peers.
