Club sports
This include events that have been put in place or specifically organized within individuals, groups or teams with a common interest in a particular sport .this include a wide range of clubs that are competitive. This clubs travel and play in competitions that are of high level.

In a nutshell...
In recreational sports emphasis should not be put on competition. This is because if emphasis is put on competition then the main objective of recreational sports will be lost. These sports should be a way of having fun and self enjoyment and hence if the aspect of competition is emphasized then the whole initial intention of the sports is lost. Hence main focus of the recreational sports should be maintained as individual and community building while having fun and not through competition. If the recreational sports are not competition based then they will attract many participants who will be willing to take part in these events and in the process benefit from them.
Recreational sports programs should be taken positively by parents as they help in development of children socially and also serve as a way to positively spend time and hence avoid children getting involved in antisocial behaviors.
