One of the easiest ways to meet people and to make new friends is to join a sports club. Strengthening ones health and improving ones physical abilities are agreeable side effects. Most sports clubs in Dusseldorf offer very good equipment and have pricey membership fees.
The offering of specific sports is very broad – swimming, tennis, golf, climbing, basketball or football are just some examples. Traditional and smaller sports clubs as well as larger associations can be found in the city. Here you will find a listing of clubs for the most popular activities.
Sports clubs and societies are very characteristic of Germany and it is absolutely the norm to join a club if one likes to practise. Of course there is always the possibility of jogging alone in the forest or swimming in a public swimming pool but there are also clubs for these kind of sports, in which diverse groups and courses are offered, so that one can practise together with others.
Mostly, there is some sort of contractual obligation to joining a club to use its sports facilities. This is particularly the case concerning tennis or golf facilities, which can only seldom be used for free without being a member, so it is advisable to be informed about the appropriate terms of use.
