sports association

group of people that deal with sports

A sports club, athletics club or sports association is an eclectic institution oriented to multiple sports, which fields many teams and has varied sports departments in several sports, working under the same umbrella organization. In a larger sense, it may also refer to any sports institution, even those that have only one sports team or single sports department. In order to differentiate a single sports institution from a multi-sport institution, the term multi-sport club is used. Generally, "athletics club" doesn't need that kind of disambiguation.
