 PREFACE The release of the body from the tension and strain of work may be understood as a natural physical response to fatigue. Yet relaxation as a regulated right of human labour in the Western world emerged only in the nineteenth century, and ever since has been repeatedly checked by anxieties about mass leisure and by the dynamics of economic growth.

Scientists began to understand the working body as a ‘motor’ with a measurable capacity for work and the need for regularly spaced rest. Work scientists like Angelo Mosso believed that output could be optimized if exhaustion was avoided. Overwork reduced longevity, decreased fertility, stunted the growth of youth, produced insomnia and nervousness, and encouraged alcoholism and torpor. Efficiency in the human motor required daily and weekly rest breaks and even regularly spaced rests within the workday.

Since the 1970s, complex economic and social trends have reversed the historical trend toward increased leisure time. Increased speed of communications and transport along with the rise of global competition has created the 24-hour economy and, with it, work at all hours. Economic maximizing and consumerism have induced workers not only to opt for overtime but to choose timesaving devices to aid in their leisure. This has meant a saturation of free time with leisure goods and their maintenance.

 INTRODUCTION Recreation or fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic refreshment of one's body or mind. While leisure is more likely a form of entertainment or sleep, recreation is active for the participant but in a refreshing and diverting manner. A time in which individuals are not compelled to do anything, and are free to choose to relax or to take part in a leisure activity. Leisure has important social functions, including relief from the demands and restrictions of work.

Most people enjoy socializing with friends for dinner or a drink after a hard day at work. For many young people, having a regular night out a week is a normal part of their free time, whether it is joining friends for a drink in a pub, dining out in a restaurant, watching a film, playing video games or dancing at a club.

 Types of leisure 

Active leisure activities involve the exertion of physical or mental energy. Low-impact physical activities include walking and yoga, which expend little energy and have little contact or competition. High-impact activities such as kick-boxing and football consume much energy and are competitive. Some active leisure activities involve almost no physical activity, but do require a substantial mental effort, such as playing chess or painting a picture. Active leisure and recreation overlap significantly.



Passive leisure activities are those in which a person does not exert any significant physical or mental energy, such as going to the cinema, watching television, or gambling on slot machines. Some leisure experts discourage these types of leisure activity, on the grounds that they do not provide the benefits offered by active leisure activities. For example, acting in a community drama (an active leisure activity) could build a person's skills or self-confidence. Nevertheless, passive leisure activities are a good way of relaxing for many people.

 Importance To The Indian Context A new developed sporting infrastructure is a trade mark of developed nation of today, where in attention can be diverted from basic issues to recreation and leisure issues.so it becomes obligatory for every developing country to make developments in the sports sector so that the health of the society and standard of living in general also develop along with it.

 IMPORTANCE OF RECREATION SPORTS 

Recreational sports are important to the quality of life and communities. It has been long associated with benefits to health such as heart disease, diabetes and bowel cancer. It also helps decrease overweight and obesity numbers with regular physical activity among people and communities.



Recreational sports have been reported as changing lives. The activities create positive outcomes such as confidence, self-respect, self-esteem, trust, self-reliance and leadership abilities.



“Over the last 15 years however, sports, outdoor pursuits and constructive leisure activities have been a well-established feature of initiatives whose aim is to divert offenders and young people at risk away from crime” (East Leigh, 2007). Therefore, participating in recreational activities can help young men and women stay away from crime and can become leaders.



Recreational sports provide challenges and adventures for individuals. In the economic aspect, promoting physical activity for employees makes good business sense. As for college students, recreational sports programs and activities are correlated with overall college satisfaction and success. Students become more socially oriented than other students who don’t participated in recreational sports.



Other benefits of recreational sports include reduction of stress, improvement of happiness, build character, improve interaction with diverse sets of people, and contribute to time management.



Recreation is essential to the longevity of humans because it assists with lowering stress levels. Organized recreational activities can be found at local parks, YMCA’s, churches, and other community facilities. These types of programs are successful because they include recreation for the entire family.



Regular family activities can help everyone become more active and healthier. This gives both parents and children the opportunity to interact as a family and have fun together. In addition, some community facilities include senior citizen programming.



Indoor recreational programs can include table tennis, racquetball, bowling, indoor swimming, indoor treadmills, arts and crafts, indoor skating, and more.



Outdoor recreational programs can include running, volleyball, basketball, football, Frisbee tossing, swimming, and much more.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…IMPORTANCE OF RECREATION SPORTS

 Sports and health 

More and more number have secondary occupations .The number of people in nonmanual jobs has increased in the UK by approximately 20% over the last 20 years, whilst the number of people manual appointment has fallen in the UK by around 35% over the same period



Regular exercise for men and women of all ages can provide the essential complement to programs of preventive health care evolved by government and health authorities



Cost of remedial care in health service rise inexorably year by year



Investment in sports development is likely to pay back in the reduction of many avoidable illness

 Sports and school 

If the number of people participating in sports are to be raised, on setting is more important than school will be an asset for life



A loss of playing fields and a lack of commitment to school sports can deprive youngsters of their birthright This is a loss to nation as whole,



Team work and achievement in sports impart a spirit of self-discipline, personal achievement, and respect for others



The implications of policies on the availabilities need care full study. Errors made now would cost huge sums of money to repair for many young people opportunities may never



It is important that people who leave school in further education have continuing access to sports facilities



The sports council believes that sharing facilities between schools and local people confers positive benefits



Such partnerships should be a factor in all local strategies for sports development



It is important that maximum use is made of sports halls,pools,and pitches but it is equally important that physical education should have a full role properly to create literacy in movement as vital role to every person literacy as verbal expression itself



Many sports clubs provide opportunities that school children might not otherwise have



Sports policy should promote such arrangement between club and schools, and school and the community

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”



The aim should be to promote self confidence among children, to encourage school leavers to maintain sporting activities in later life and it identifies and develop special talent.

 TOPIC JUSTIFICATION 

Recreation is an activity of leisure, leisure being discretionary time.



The "need to do something for recreation" is an essential element of human biology and psychology. Recreational activities are often done for enjoyment, amusement, or pleasure and are considered to be "fun".

 Etymology 

The term recreation appears to have been used in English first in the late 14th century, first in the sense of "refreshment or curing of a sick person”, and derived turn from Latin (re: "again", creare: "to create, bring forth, beget.).

 Prerequisites to leisure 

Humans spend their time in activities of daily living, work, sleep, social duties, and leisure, the latter time being free from prior commitments to physiologic or social needs, a prerequisite of recreation.



Leisure has increased with increased longevity and, for many, with decreased hours spent for physical and economic survival, yet others argue that time pressure has increased for modern people, as they are committed to too many tasks.



Other factors that account for an increased role of recreation are affluence, population trends, and increased commercialization of recreational offerings.



While one perception is that leisure is just "spare time", time not consumed by the necessities of living, another holds that leisure is a force that allows individuals to consider and reflect on the values and realities that are missed in the activities of daily life, thus being an essential element of personal development and civilization.



This direction of thought has even been extended to the view that leisure is the purpose of work, and a reward in itself and "leisure life" reflects the values and character of a nation. Leisure is considered a human right under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

 Play, recreation and work 

Recreation is difficult to separate from the general concept of play, which is usually the term for children's recreational activity. Children may playfully imitate activities that reflect the realities of adult life. It has been proposed that play or recreational activities are outlets of or expression of excess energy, channeling it into socially acceptable activities that fulfill individual as well as societal needs, without need for compulsion, and providing satisfaction and pleasure for the participant.



A traditional view holds that work is supported by recreation, recreation being useful to "recharge the battery" so that work performance is improved. Work, an activity generally performed out of economic necessity and useful for society and organized within the economic framework, however can also be pleasurable and may be self-imposed thus blurring the distinction to recreation.



Many activities may be work for one person and recreation for another, or, at an individual level, over time recreational activity may become work, and vice versa. Thus, for a musician, playing an instrument may be at one time a profession, and at another a recreation. Similarly, it may be difficult to separate education from recreation as in the case of recreational mathematics.

 Recreational activities 

Recreation is an essential part of human life and finds many different forms which are shaped naturally by individual interests but also by the surrounding social construction.



Recreational activities can be communal or solitary, active or passive, outdoors or indoors, healthy or harmful, and useful for society or detrimental.



A list of typical activities could be almost endless including most human activities, a few examples being reading, playing or listening to music, watching movies or TV, gardening, hunting, hobbies, sports, studies, and travel. Some recreational activities - such as gambling, recreational drug use, or delinquent activities - may violate societal norms and laws.



Public space such as parks and beaches are essential venues for many recreational activities. Tourism has recognized that many visitors are specifically attracted by recreational offerings.

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…..…TOPIC JUSTIFICATION



In support of recreational activities government has taken an important role in their creation, maintenance, and organization, and whole industries have developed merchandise or services. Recreation-related business is an important factor in the economy; it has been estimated that the outdoor recreation sector alone contributes $730 billion annually to the U.S. economy and generates 6.5 million jobs.

 Health and recreation 

Recreation has many health benefits, and, accordingly, Therapeutic Recreation has been developed to take advantage of this effect. The National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) is the nationally recognized credentialing organization for the profession of Therapeutic Recreation.



Professionals in the field of Therapeutic Recreation who are certified by the NCTRC are called "Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists". The job title "Recreation Therapist" is identified in the U.S. Dept. of Labor's Occupation Outlook. Such therapy is applied in rehabilitation, psychiatric facilities for youth and adults and in the care of the elderly, the disabled, or people with chronic diseases.



Recreational physical activity is important to reduce obesity, and the risk of osteoporosis and of cancer, most significantly in men that of colon and prostate, and in women that of the breast; however, not all malignancies are reduced as outdoor recreation has been linked to a higher risk of melanoma. Extreme adventure recreation naturally carries its own hazards.

 Recreation as a career 

A recreation specialist would be expected to meet the recreational needs of a community or assigned interest group. Educational institutions offer courses that lead to a degree as a Bachelor of Arts in recreation management.



People with such degrees often work in parks and recreation clubs in towns, on community projects and activities. Networking with instructors, budgeting, and evaluation of continuing programs are common job duties.



In the United States, most states have a professional organization for continuing education and certification in recreation management. The National Recreation and Park Association administer a certification program called the CPRP (Certified Park and

Recreation Professional) that is considered a national standard for professional recreation specialist practices.

 Need For The Topic 

Sports have been given secondary importance and are quite a neglected aspect, particularly in huge metropolitan cities. This is due to the lack of sufficient and proper facilities and due to the hectic lives that we all are living. Increase in migration rate causes overcrowding and reduction in open spaces. There is an acute shortage of playing facilities. Reasons behind this are:



Encroachment of civilization which have robbed us of our natural playing fields.



Shortages of funds as the people have still not realized the importance of sports in their lives and hence no initiative is taken by them. While other countries have progressed by leaps and bounds, Indian sports are still far behind.



Even growing commercial centers like Thane don’t have facilities for competitions along with training facilities which is absolutely necessary. There are few sports clubs but restricted only to a chosen few as these are commercial clubs.



Talented younger generation has to remain satisfied within the building courtyards. Amidst the mushrooming concrete jungle, a place like a RECREATION CLUB would cater to an important aspect of human life. It would open the door to another dimension of the metropolis man, so respectfully ignored and neglected by majority.



In cities we have a lot of talented youngsters but the facilities are lacking at that level. A lot of talent is present in the junior and sub-junior level. They are our future and we should promote the games at these levels, in order to spot talent. The design of sporting installations is a fascinating challenge which often leads to the creation of magnificent works that typically combine pragmatism and aesthetics.



The diversity of these works is a direct consequence of the evolution of sport which has led to the replacement of artistic academism by innovative ideas and new forms, even though there are still certain common aspects which have become the distinguishing features of the typology known as SPORTS ARCHITECTURE.



The public nature of a RECREATION CLUB is a direct consequence of a view of sporting activity as a pleasant social activity and an effective means of promoting interpersonal communication.



Its designing would involve not only spatial design but also the structural design is given equal weightage. Another aspect which the architect has to consider is the various services involved. Therefore in dealing with a RECREATION CLUB as a design dissertation topic, scope for architectural ability along with applied sciences like services is present.

 Aims & objectives 

URBAN: City level



CATALYST: An event or thing causing a change.



Thus, the main aim of the project is to introduce urban catalysts within the fabric of the place.



In saying that the idea is to provide people with more interaction platforms before mankind completely loses the ability to communicate with one another.



The thesis aims at understanding a particular space of existence in its entirety. With this understanding in mind, it then looks to provide a sensitized plan of action taking into consideration the stake holders amongst the local communities, interaction amongst its surrounding landscape along with the daily nuances of the individual localities. An attempt has been made to counter three major concerns:



Providing for interaction spaces for people in neighbourhood.as time moves people are getting more and more busy with their lifes.giving them a reason to celebrate life’



Providing for the open spaces lost in a neighborhood that is constantly getting denser. The adjoining cityscape has been getting denser owing to the increased commercial activities.

The connectivity it offers through the rail-road network has led to the increased congestion & a denser neighborhood.



Resolving the urban conflict between the Infrastructural Development & the Local Community. The issue needs to be addressed keeping not just the development factor in mind but also paying heed to the daily needs of the local community.

 Scope & limitation THANE spans the east and west, antiquity to modernity, it is rich and poor, high rise and slum, and has offices and malls sharing common compounds in new interpretations of space. The transformation of Indian life that has occurred in the past few decades can be

 Evolution of sports and recreation 

Activities of the present are the ones being inherited from our ancestors and being modified from time to time. Before civilization had ushered into the historic arena and before the onset of the machine age, man led a hard and robust life in contrast to the soft and luxurious life of today the hard work for surviving done by the primitives contributed to the physical perfection and there was no necessity for organized system to physical education



With the advancement of the civilization, physical degradation took place because of less exertion in the machine age life. Thus, the need is felt for body developement.human body has not indeed and cannot have altered greatly. Habits and living have altered beyond recognition and the strain of modern life needs correction, if balance is to be presser end and true functions of life acchieved.hence the need for an organized system of physical education is needed to compensate the loss sustained by man.the desire to pay is one of the strongest instincts of the human race.it is the easiest way to express to one’s natural emotions. Even the king displayed their hammer throwing power with a blacks tossed great stones like present day .open spaces are essential for living. Encroachment of civilization has robbed us of our natural play fields and grounds. Towns had central open spaces between clusters of houses for gains and to be express their playing instincts which are essential and inherent.disapperewance of gardens has largely been the construction of factories and houses



Different kinds of sports and open spaces are both very important in the life and welfare of mankind, today people flock to watch matches not because they do not wish to play but to satisfy these instincts of facilities keep them away from their love for sports. They love sports and derive benefits from open air excitement, tensing of muscles as they watch and cheer makes them use their lungs. Millions years for open spaces and weekend holidays.

What they really have is an urge to go back to nature and so people love seeing outdoor sports

Thus sports filed provide fresh air and act as communal center. They therefore are nation assists



Thus they are not just Victorian parks with bands or well-equipped recreation club but place designed for recreation with people with people instruct, supervise and improve physical fitness of people and encourage them with knowledge



Due to acute shortage of genuine playing facilities and management, the sporting talent of the youngsters is more or less getting suppressed



Lack of sporting facilities may divert the talent energies of the youth to unsalutory activities,



Sports and games have very important role in the growth and development of mind and body.it also provide a ladder of fulfillment and success to youngsters who may otherwise be crowded in uncomfortable housing or tempted to a wayward life on the streets



Hence, the need for an organized system physical education is needed to compensate the loss sustained by man



People all over the world are showing kin interest in the international sporting events like the Olympics Asian games and commonwealth games winning medals in such events has become a prestige issue for both individuals and nation



Different kinds of sports and open spaces are both very important in the life and welfare of mankind.today,people flock to watch matches not because they do not wish to play but to satisfy their instincts



Present day standards of an international competition demand high degree of technical skills for precious time and sequence schedules and affective insulation distribution





Thus there is a need to establish a hierarchy in sports education and admiration at national state, regional and district level

 Sports and sporting activities 

The advancement of science and technology is providing more and more leisure time to people all over the world and hence they are taking to sports and games at scale unseen in past. More and more games are being internationalized. The number of inter-national sporting events is increasing .people all over the world are showing a keener interest in the international sporting events like the Olympics, Asian games and commonwealth games and winning medals in such evens has become a prestige issue for both individuals and nations.

 INTERACTION AND IMPORTANCE 

Social interaction is the process by which we act and react to those around us. In a nutshell, social interaction includes those acts people perform toward each other and the responses they give in return. Social interaction includes a large number of behaviors so many that in sociology interaction is usually divided into three categories.

 The solution 

Interaction in public spaces is an old tradition and needs to be policy of contemporary cities.



A good city should have a good community life. Urbanized centers world over have a tendency to create individual spaces and gated communities which result in aloofness, loneliness and depressed lifestyles. Sense of community fades and individualism takes over. According to urbanologist Jan Gehl when the city whole heartedly invites to walk, stand and sit in the city’s common space a new urban pattern emerges: more people walk and stay in the city. We need to design cities as meeting places — for small events and larger perspectives. City designers need to set the stage for necessary activities like walking, optional activities like enjoying a view and social activities like tempting public interaction. Public institutions tempt public interaction and greatly enhance and consolidate social, cultural and community aspirations. Historically public institutions like libraries, cultural centers, theatres, planned squares and chowks, etc. have led to significant movements, demonstrations and alternate thinking. For now and for the future it is necessary to establish public institutions to contribute and enrich the life of all the people in the city and facilitate growth of public engagement and knowledge for human development. By building public spaces we weave psychological and intellectual growth into a comprehensive physical plan while bringing substance to the notion of public realm.

 The Importance 

Active and passive recreational opportunity.



Natural features and spaces important to defining community image and distinctive character.



Boundaries between incompatible uses and breaks from continuous development. They can shape land use patterns to promote more compact, efficient-to-service development.



Opportunity to prevent youth crime through park and recreation programs that offer social support from adult leaders; leadership opportunities for youth; intensive and individualized attention to participants; a sense of group belonging; youth input into program decisions; and opportunities for community services.



Healthy lifestyles enhancement by facilitating improvements in physical fitness through exercise, and also by facilitating positive emotional, intellectual, and social experiences.



 RESEARCH  Sequence of design 

All design are being set out from the flowing determination factor



Pitch/central area. The starting point of design is the central area or the playing field, its shape, dimensions and orientation must enable it to fulfill all the functions required of it



Seating capacity. If the pitch is of variable enter for very different activities then the design capacity should be stated as we figure



The numbers of seats around the maximum pitch size, and the maximum capacity around the smallest space user. The stadium owner will have a very strong view on seating capacity as this form the basis of their profitability calculation



Orientation. Pitch orientation must he suitable for the event to be shaped



The orientation of the playing field will depend on the uses to which it will put to, the main factor being



The hemisphere in which the recreation club located



The period of the year in which the designed sports will be played



Zoning .finally a discipline for the arrangement of all the element of the stadium ,from the pitch at the center for the parking space outside is ,provide by the need for safety zone



Having set orientation the next priority is to plan the position of the stadium of the site, and to start thinking about the interrelationship its major parts, and this is best done by identifying the four zones which make up the safety plans. The size and the location of these zones are critical to the performance tot the stadium in all emergencies, and they are



Zone1 the activity area that is the control area /or pitch on which the games takes place



Zone 2 the spectator terrace and concourse surroundings the activity area



Zone 3 the circulation area surrounding the stadium structure and separating it from the parking



Zone 4 the open space outside the perimeter fence and separating it from the car parking



The purpose of such zoning is to allow spectators to escape from the seats, in an emergency to a series of interdict safety zones leading ultimately to place of permanent

safety outside .it provide a clear and helpful framework for design not only from new stadia but also for refurbishment of existing facilities

 Evolution of design 

As a project under consideration includes the number of activities or function, which has little scope for flexibility in most of the designing concept, applied is of form follows function



The playing arena ,which is the defining factor of a stadium itself, is defined by the regulation and standards stipulated for the individual sports considered for playing in stadiums



The spectator seating depending on the calculated or estimated capacity of spectator expected during a large tournament is provided all around the arena



The stadium being massive structure occupying the vast portion of the site including the parking area was designed first and then was followed by the other forms of structure

 Energy efficiency 

Since various service such as toilets, changing rooms, ventilation plant rooms,etc.need fresh air they are placed along the periphery of the stadium thus saving the energy expenditure



Since the aim of the project is to promote interaction between the people themselves, between the public and sport person and most importantly to arouse and encourage new interest in the visitors, informal interaction spaces have been introduced in the design and in a manner so as to least obstruct or disturb the game going in on there

 Promotion of sports 

The Government plays a major role in promoting and developing sports in a country. The Government and Governmental organizations constitute the Public Sector of the sports industry which is responsible for making sports policies, allocating funds for developing infrastructure, nurturing talents, designing specialized programmers like dope control etc.

The Planning Commission of India estimates that the country will be the home of approximately 510 million people of the age group of 15 to 35 years by 2016. The role of Government, therefore, is extremely important in providing participation opportunities to the youth of India for the overall development of sports.



1982 was a landmark year in Indian sports when India organized the Asian Games. Prior to 1982, hardly any emphasis had been given to sports in Public Policies. Funds had been allocated to sports in different Five Year Plans, mainly for building infrastructure and nurturing talents at the grass root level.

 Five Year Plans Thrust Areas 

2nd Five Year Plan - Developing sports infrastructure



3rd Five Year Plan - Grass root developmental activities



4th Five Year Plan - Grass root developmental activities



Considering the developmental aspect of sports, the Panchayat Yuva Krida Aur Khel Abhiyan (PYKKA) had been introduced to generate sports culture at the grass root level.

The objectives of the scheme are to provide sports infrastructure/ equipment’s at the Panchayat level and to encourage youth in rural areas to participate in sports. Various competitions are organized from block level to national level to achieve these objectives.

Rs. 1,500 crore has been approved by the Planning Commission for this project in the 11th Five Year Plan and a budgetary allocation of Rs. 92 crore was provided in the scheme for 2008-09 while Rs. 160 crore was provided for 2009-10.



The effectiveness of these initiatives should be evaluated on the basis of the success of Indian athletes at the international level. It is relevant to mention that the result is not enough convincing. Therefore, a few recommendations can be made for making the system more effective.

 Recommendations 

The allocation of funds to sport, as a percentage of budgets, can be increased for broadbasing sports in this country.



Periodic evaluation of various projects initiated by the Government and Governmental organizations for making those initiatives more effective.



Integration of sports with education to introduce sports culture in India.



Sports is a state subject and therefore uniformity in sports specific activities of various states in India is extremely important for providing equal sporting opportunities to all the citizens of the country.



A structure of good governance should be incorporated to make the system transparent and accountable.



Sepp Blatter, the President of FIFA, once said that India is a sleeping giant in football. The same is applicable for any other discipline of sports. Considering the social impact of sports and the enormous potential of this country, we may expect that the Government will play a pro-active role in making India a sporting nation.

 Need of combining conventional sports with leisure sports 

sports always are played professional some sports are looked upon as in leisure activity .by combining sports like pools,tennis,bowling,skating with conventional sports help in

creating enthusiasm are liking for sports. Large masses of people are attracted towards such sports center 

Main problem faced by sports complex is lack of recreational facilitites.fusion of conventional sports will serve as recreational place to some extent. Even though sports complex helps the professionals, normal man also has a right to experience them. Usually stadiums are built as a venue for the championships, later whole year they are vacant and deserted so as leisure games provided in the sports center it will attracts residential people in the vanity of the complex, more over it funds the complex and help in maintenance



recreational sports would help in preparing a child or a person professionaly,which is neglected aspects of India



Today most of the people go to the health clubs for entertainment leisure. Thus the conventional sports play an important role in day to day life of the people .regular workout during the days keeps us refreshing .huge amount of teenagers want or just move out at recreational places like bowling alleys, pool points



moreover the indoor stadium provided is true sayings Olympics standards an can be a venue for hosting national and international games this adds facilities



Leisure sports are rapidly expanding market promising immense growth potential for investment and to expand Indian market. Recently in Mumbai at lower parel ,co bowling company has set open a bowling alley



People are becoming westernized, thus there is a need for combing leisure sports with conventional sports. Now here in Mumbai there is a fusion of these sports



The leisure activities of a society keep evolving over time. Earlier leisure was related to religious events, festivals and family gathering .now that here have loosened the string held over the urban population other leisure activities rush into take place

 Scales of provisions 

Good toilet provision is intrinsic to a venue image while inadequate provision, uneven distribution and poor quality are major sources of complaint from spectators. insufficient toilets or urinals to meet the needs of large crowds of fans can also lead to misuse of the facilities, offending and driving away potential visitors and club members, thus reducing stadium revenue “RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”



There are two separate design problem to he addressed



The proportion of male to female spectators who will be using the toilets



The intensive use of toilets in very short periods of time.

 Males to female ratio 

Every type of event or club membership, will have its own ratio of male to female spectators for instance



If a stadium is designed for multipurpose use including concerts, then the male: female ratio will approach 1:1



Tennis or athletics clubs or events will have higher proportion of woman than will soccer or rugby



Clubs with high family memberships will usually have above average proportion of females



Higher status clubs, and clubs in pleasant parts of town, will tend to have higher proportion of woman than those with basic image environment



At particular event there may also be different gender mixes in different parts of stadium



There will be higher proportion of woman in the private or family enclosure of British football stadia than in the standing terraces



There will be higher proportion of woman among the home supporters at the European football match than among the way supporters



On the basis of the above data gender mix should be reflected in the proportion of toilets provided for that event ,organized clubs keep of the male/female split for particular occasions and such clubs records are the only reliable source of briefing information for new stadium design



In view of the variation of the male/female ratio from the event sonic flexibility should be built into toilet provision. movable partitions and defended section which can be labeled either male or female for particular event are two possibilities .there solution may see an extranvangece, but the problems of inadequate provision and customer dissatisfaction are so great in stadium design that all possible solution must be considered in the interest of attracting more spectators

construction and patented folding mechanism using its own weight. Bamberg and Krefeld seating has a maintenance-free pivot spring mechanism, which is integrated in the frame. Bamberg and Krefeld are suitable for indoor and outdoor areas and by the filigree appearance the robust characteristics are elegantly concealed.

 Types and materials 

Normally, seat frames are manufactured from steel, which is then galvanized or thermoplastic-coated to provide protection against corrosion and wear. Seats and backs may be injection-molded or upholstered, and be fixed to the horizontal or vertical part of the stepped banking using a variety of mechanical fixings. Once installed, these seats should be virtually maintenance free for a number of years. There are also telescopic seating platform systems, which are designed for use in multi-purpose arenas. They consist of banks of tiered seating which can be opened or closed at the touch of a button.

These systems also feature refined levels of finishing and may include guardrails, aisle lights, row numbers and aisle letters. There are also mobile versions, which can be moved On wheels and stored in a separate location. In the USA, stadium and arena seating is often fully upholstered and is intended to improve spectator comfort. This level of comfort has also made its way into some stadiums in Europe. Innovative designs based on good ergonomic foundations can provide the individual with the perception of long-term comfort.

This is a useful advantage when some sports require the spectator to remain sitting for long periods. Foam-based seating needs to remain resilient throughout the seat’s life and should not significantly lose its thickness or hardness. Ventilation of the upholstery is also important, together with a cover that remains intact during service, thus preventing absorption and subsequent hygiene problems. Some of these aspects will be covered by the standards listed above. However, in many cases, additional testing may be required to show that a claim is justified.

 Flammability 

In addition, flammability requirements will need to be addressed. In the UK, the operator of the building is responsible for fire safety (Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) order 2005).

The appropriate tests depend on the risk assessments of the facility undertaken by the operator of the building. Whole item testing is often the most appropriate way of testing these types of products, and BS 5852:2006 section 12 provides test methods for a variety of ignition sources, including cigarette, match and cribs.

 Parking description  The growing population of India has created many problems – one of the challenging ones being car parking which we confront almost every day. Besides the problem of space for cars moving on the road, greater is the problem of space for a parked vehicle considering that private vehicles remain parked for most of their time. Roads are being built for cars to ply but are we also giving the vehicles enough space to park. Parking is one of the major problems that are created by the increasing road track. It is an impact of transport development. The availability of less space in urban areas has increased the demand for parking space especially in areas like Central business district.

 Parking statistics 

Parking accumulation It is defined as the number of vehicles parked at a given instant of time. Normally this is expressed by accumulation curve. Accumulation curve is the graph obtained by plotting the number of bays occupied with respect to time.



Parking volume parking volume is the total number of vehicles parked at a given duration of time. This does not account for repetition of vehicles.



Parking load parking load gives the area under the accumulation curve. It can also be obtained by simply multiplying the number of vehicles occupying the parking area at each time interval with the time interval. It is expressed as vehicle hours.



Average parking duration it is the ratio of total vehicle hours to the number of vehicles parked.



Parking turnover it is the ratio of number of vehicles parked in duration to the number of parking bays. This can be expressed as number of vehicles per bay per time duration.



Parking index parking index is also called occupancy or efficiency. It is defined as the ratio of number of bays occupied in time duration to the total space available. It gives an aggregate measure of how effectively the parking space is utilized. Parking index can be found out as follows Parking index = parking load/parking capacity × 100

 Effects of parking 

Parking has some effects like congestion, accidents, pollution, obstruction to fire-fighting operations etc.



Congestion Parking takes considerable street space leading to the lowering of the road capacity. Hence, speed will be reduced; journey time and delay will also subsequently increase. The operational cost of the vehicle increases leading to great economical loss to the community.



Accidents Careless manoeuvring of parking and unparking leads to accidents which are referred to as parking accidents. Common type of parking accidents occur while driving out a car from the parking area, careless opening of the doors of parked cars, and while bringing in the vehicle to the parking lot for parking.



Environmental pollution they also cause pollution to the environment because stopping and starting of vehicles while parking and unparking results in noise and fumes. They also aced the aesthetic beauty of the buildings because a car parked at every available space creates a feeling that building rises from a plinth of cars.



Obstruction to fire fighting operations Parked vehicles may obstruct the movement of fire fighting vehicles. Sometimes they block access to hydrants and access to buildings.

 Types of Parking  On street parking On street parking means the vehicles are parked on the sides of the street itself. This will be usually controlled by government agencies itself. Common types of on-street parking are as listed below. As per IRC the standard dimensions of a car is taken as 5× 2.5 m and that for a truck is 3.75× 7.5 m.

 Off street parking 

Off street parking means vehicles are parked off the street itself. This will be usually controlled by commercial agencies itself.

 

 Parallel parking The vehicles are parked along the length of the road. Here there is no backward movement involved while parking or UN parking the vehicle. Hence, it is the safest parking from the accident perspective. However, it consumes the maximum curb length and therefore only a minimum number of vehicles can be parked for a given kerbed length. This method of parking produces least obstruction to the on-going track on the road since least road width is used.

 30 degree parking In thirty degree parking, the vehicles are parked at 30 with respect to the round alignment.

In this case, more vehicles can be parked compared to parallel parking. Also there is better manoeuvre-ability. Delay caused to the track is also minimum in this type of parking.

 45 degree parking 

As the angle of parking increases, more number of vehicles can be parked. Hence compared to parallel parking and thirty degree parking, more number of vehicles can be accommodated in this type of parking.

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

34

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH

 60 degree parking 

The vehicles are parked at 60 to the direction of road. More number of vehicles can be accommodated in this parking type.

 Right angle parking In right angle parking or 90parking, the vehicles are parked perpendicular to the direction of the road. Although it consumes maximum width kerbed length required is very little. In this type of parking, the vehicles need complex manoeuvring and this may cause severe accidents. This arrangement causes obstruction to the road track particularly if the road width is less. However, it can accommodate maximum number of vehicles for a given kerbed length.

 Multiple Level Car Parking It is a building (or part there hereof) which is designed specifically to be for Automobile Parking and where there are a number of floors or levels on which parking takes place.

 Advantages 

Space effective – space savings upwards of 70 percent.



Freeing the space at ground level for better commercial use.



Reduced total cost of ownership.



Environmental friendly as ramps are avoided.



Higher throughput and faster operations (capability to handle 40 to 60 cars an hour)

 Advance Studies  Relevance Of Electives 

Land and interior design were the two areas of advanced studies chosen by the author.

 Landscape 

A club building is very different from other buildings in the sense that it does not offer any functional service in the prevalent sense of the word. What it offers instead is a sense of joy fitness and wellbeing. One has to plan experience and expectations while planning a club building. While planning the user psychological state. One cannot stop with a small area called the built mass that is the building, for it consists only a part of the whole experience of the user. The planning has then to be extended to the whole site area.



Further Indian climate is suitable for outdoor planning. The club has more attendance during evenings and members have a tendency to enjoy outdoor surroundings. That is

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

36

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…RESEARCH

why has given specific stress in landscape detailing and tried to integrate it with the built mass as far as possible.

 Interior Design 

The reason for choosing interior design as a topic of advanced studies arise from the same philosophy that only provision of any facility is not sufficient while planning a club building. What is more important instead of what type of atmosphere that activity and the area assigned to it produces.



Though the placement of various areas had already explorer this aspect of visual connection between two areas nevertheless while designing the interior, aesthetical considerations were sole deciding factors sometimes.

 Overall Finding And Proposals  Interior of Restaurant 

The following guidelines are followed to make environment of restaurant make delightful and purposeful:



Every table gives a close view of either dancing flour or outside surroundings.



French window increases the visual area and brings nature more closely.



Artificial and natural plants are given in the restaurant to create the inter-penetration of nature inside the hall.



To create a royal impression of restaurant by providing innovative artistic features, color, texture and lighting.



Lighting- there is dim light in the restaurant living area to reduce the harshness of features and it should be orange brown tone.



The food served should look delectable, fortunately most food item fall in orange brown category and so look fine under the dim brown lights meant for people.



Contrast color is used insight the restaurant to create dramatic effect.



Smooth texture is used by large size of glazed opening and plain plastering with combination of cool and hot colors.

 Landscaping Of Children’s Playground 

All equipment should contribute to the healthy growth and recreational enjoyment of the child, so that he learns to coordinate, cooperate, compete, create, enjoy and acquire confidence, playing equipment should-



Develop strength ability, coordination, balance and courage.



Stimulate the child to learn social skills of sharing and playing with others and to compete in a spirit of fair play.



Encourage each child to be creative and have play experience which are meaningful to him.



Assist the child in making the transition from playsuit to playground.

 Site Boundary Planning 

Site boundary planting can soften the visual impact of the large stadium development on its environment, making the building seem smaller and perhaps less gaunt. Radial access routes can help them find their way and once they are inside and walking towards the stadium, rows of tall trees can similarly help them in.

 Land Cost 

Land cost must be kept to the minimum and this is why sports facilities are frequently built on low grade land, such refused tips or reclaimed land that is to poor for residential or industrial use but which may then lead to additional structure cost



Local or regional planning legislature must be checked to ensure that the proposed development will be allow in that area

 METHODOLOGY 

First – Data from literature regarding behavioral aspect of the buildings was collected. This data was synthesized to select the aspects which could govern inter-relationship of various activities in a club building.



Case studies were analyzed in the light of behavioral ‘aspects’, by means of observation and users survey.



Inferences were drawn from the case-studies about behavioral pattern of users and their expectations from the space were analyzed. Such inferences were used to chalk-out ‘requirements’ which incorporated behavioral aspects along with functional aspects.



Various techniques were explored from literature for producing the desired psychology effect in a space.

 Observation 

The facade of the building is clad in blend of Aluminum Composite Panels, Glass and UPVC Louvers which are intentionally designed to make the building look lighter and sleeker due to limited available foreground. The concentric rings fabricated in ACP are aesthetically set within UPVC louvered background. These louvers creatively hide the plumbing and ventilation services from the front of the building. An ornamental staircase winding within a glass enclosure on the lower corner of the main entrance beautifully balances the heavy metal mass above and provides the necessary ventilation for the toilet shafts. Although the contemporary design stands out in complete contract to the art deco buildings in the surrounding area, it places beautifully as a foreground to the modern mass of Wankhede Stadium, which was recently renovated as part of the complex. The roof canopy not only hides the structural support for the guided rail system for facade maintenance but also acts as a wind barrier for the tennis court.

As one walks into the club side of the building, one enters an imposing double height atrium space which is adorned with a flowing mural, cast in fiber reinforce plastic. The petals of this mural envelope the entire wall which balance the attention from the shiny three brass clad elevators on one end of the building to the sunken cafeteria overlooking the swimming pool on the other side. Overlooking this area on the first floor is the multicuisine restaurant which was designed in a simple style focusing more on the dining experience than the clutter of interior detailing. A provision was also made for the children’s room adjacent to this restaurant to facilitate parents to keep their children within safe protected boundaries while having their meal. Once completed, the building will be a 6-storied structure with a total built up area of almost 200,000 sq.ft.

Located in DongYuan residential district of Chengdu, the site of SanWaYao community sports facilities is surrounded with aged housing, intensive highrise residential buildings which were built recently and a primary school. Challenging the limited site and building area, designers created an energetic public space in community, offering numerous kinds of sports facilities for people living around including swimming pool, fitness center, tennis court, basketball court, squash court, ping pong table, billiards table, gate ball court, outdoor fitness center , playground for kids and so on.  With the aim of producing a friendly sports space, the concept is to make the building and site integrated. Creating a sloping shape of the building by “extruding” and connecting the sports ground on the east with walkable sloping roof lead to a stronger space perception of the building as a public facility.  Continuous sloping roof is an open public space with big steps acting as a walking route and bleachers for the east sports ground in the same time. Moreover, lawn roof provides spaces for

grass skating, yoga, picnic and more for the community without charging a

fee. People could walk slowly up to roof deck on 4th floor along the slope and down through a cantilevered stairway on the north. These form a round route in an “artificial hill” bringing the pleasure of climbing a real mountain into the crowded city town.  Multi-function arena on the lawn slope is a pure semitransparent space made of U-shaped glass. It provides tender interior light suitable for various kinds of ball games, group calisthenics, and parties. In the corner of the arena, batter posts replace upright posts in structure which makes the building a floating glow box as a unique sight in community.

This newly completed sports and leisure complex has a distinctive, sculptural quality, further enhanced by the building’s essential transparency. The building’s organic curves echo the undulating landscape of its surroundings.  The complex is designed to be multi-functional and includes a large multi-purpose hall (2,300 m2) with enough space to accommodate two handball courts with accompanying mobile spectator stands, as well as a V.I.P. lounge. There are two additional smaller allowing the complex to accommodate major sporting events, concerts and other cultural events, as well as school sporting events and small, local sports initiatives requiring more intimate settings.  The new center is located adjacent to existing football pitches and the old public swimming baths, both of which have received investment - a new grandstand for the football pitch and larger swimming baths.  The building’s façades have been decorated by the Danish artist Astrid Krogh and is an example of the close collaboration between artist and architect that is often to be found in the work of the practice. Black circles form interlinking patterns when the louvers are closed - the translucent cladding bringing a glowing quality to the natural daylight filtering through to the interior spaces. The façades were developed especially for this building project and have since been honored by inclusion in the Danish Ministry of Culture’s Canon for Design and Craft Art.  Facade System  Designed for the Sports and Leisure Centre in Birkerød in close association with Fiber line Composites (the manufacturers of the materials used), the façade system represents an innovative façade solution, simply constructed of materials characterized by high-strength properties, and presenting an elegant appearance. The structure consists of panels of a composite material, popularly known as glass fiber, which is very strong and can be made

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

to very thin specifications. Moreover the composite can be glued to the glazing without the use of clunky mullions and transoms or the occurrence of friction between glass and frame. In the composite frame, vertical louvers can be drawn to one side, locked into the open or closed position, and so regulate light. And into these louvers, also made of composite material, various elements may be integrated.

 HYPOTHESIS  ZONING HYPOTHESIS 

Zoning depends upon the use of the particular area in a building. A proper zoning can lead to disperse the crowd at the initial and also plays an important role in avoiding overcrowding at certain areas in a building.



It can begin with an appropriate location of parking, so the visitors have to move less after parking their vehicles. The multipurpose hall is kept apart from the rest of the activity zones to allow free circulation on special occasions, without disturbing the rest of the movement.



The main zone houses all the activities with the restaurant, an inviting zone, at easy distance from all activity areas. Lawn area is provided near the children’s play area for child safety and supervision. It is divided into small lots, one between ladies activity zone and other activity zones.



The open air theatre zone and multipurpose hall zone are kept as far as possible to avoid noise intermixing and disturbances.



The swimming pool zone is given a slight secluded corner to ensure privacy.

 PLANING HYPOTHESIS 

Planning: The planning should be the combination of both compactness and openness.



Public yet private: waiting lounge, restaurant, and lawn are the places where many groups are formed. These groups are formed of two or more than two people. In these groups some people desire segregation from other groups. In other words, people want a personal space in which they can accommodate themselves.



Circulation routes: a recreation club brings a sense of joy, fitness and wellbeing. The planning has to extend to the whole site area. For breaking the visual fatigue, relaxation to the eye, gossiping and coolness these areas play a major role.

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

 TECHNICAL DATA  Multipurpose ground 

Multi-purpose ground is a type of ground designed to be easily used by multiple types of events. While any ground could potentially host more than one type of sport or event, this concept usually refers to a specific design philosophy that stresses multi-functionality over specificity. It is used most commonly in Canada and the United States, where the two most popular outdoor team sports – gridiron football and baseball – require radically different facilities. Football uses a rectangular field (Canadian football fields are larger than American ones), while baseball is played on a diamond. This requires a particular design to accommodate both, usually an oval. While building ground in this way means that sports teams and governments can share costs, it also imposes some challenges.



In North America, multi-purpose ground was built primarily during the 1960s and 1970s as shared home ground for Major League Baseball and National Football League or Canadian Football League teams. Some ground was renovated to allow multi-purpose configurations during the 1980s. This type of ground is associated with an era of suburbanization, in which many sports teams followed their fans out of large cities into areas with cheaper, plentiful land. They were usually built near highways and had large parking lots but were rarely connected to public transit. As multi-purpose ground was rarely ideal for both sports usually housed in them, they had fallen out of favor by the 1990s. With the completion of the Truman Sports Complex in Kansas City in 1973, a model for purpose-built ground was laid down. Since Oriole Park at Camden Yards opened in 1992, most major league sports ground have been built specifically for one sport.



Outside North America, the term is rarely used, since soccer is the only major outdoor team sport in many countries; in some countries soccer and rugby can easily co-exist, with Australia and South Africa being notable examples. In other countries, such as England, teams rarely share facilities. In Australia, many sports grounds are suited to both Australian Rules football and cricket, as Australian rules was originally conceived for play on cricket fields. Soccer ground has historically served as track and field arenas as well and some (like the Olympiastadion in Berlin) still do, whereas a newer generation frequently has no running track to get the fans closer to the field.

Swimming is an individual or team sport and activity. Competitive swimming is one of the most popular Olympic sports, with events in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly.



Competitive swimming became popular in the 19th century. The goal of competitive swimming is to break personal or world records while beating competitors in any given event. Swimming in competition should create the least resistance in order to obtain maximum speed. However, some professional swimmers who do not hold a national or world ranking are considered the best in regard to their technical skills. Typically, an athlete goes through a cycle of training in which the body is overloaded with work in the beginning and middle segments of the cycle, and then the workload is decreased in the final stage as the swimmer approaches competition.



The practice of reducing exercise in the days just before an important competition is called tapering. A final stage is often referred to as "shave and taper": the swimmer shaves off all exposed hair for the sake of reducing drag and having a sleeker and more hydrodynamic feel in the water.[5] Additionally, the "shave and taper" method refers to the removal of the top layer of "dead skin", which exposes the newer and richer skin underneath.[6]



Swimming is an event at the Summer Olympic Games, where male and female athletes compete in 16 of the recognized events each. Olympic events are held in a 50-meter pool, called a long course pool.



There are forty officially recognized individual swimming events in the pool; however the International Olympic Committee only recognizes 32 of them. The international governing

 Open water 

In open water swimming, where the events are swum in a body of open water (lake or sea), there are also 5 km, 10 km and 25 km events for men and women. However, only the 10 km event is included in the Olympic schedule, again for both men and women.

Open-water competitions are typically separate to other swimming competitions with the exception of the World Championships and the Olympics.

 Swim style 

In competitive swimming, four major styles have been established. These have been relatively stable over the last 30–40 years with minor improvements. The four main strokes in swimming are:



Butterfly (fly)



Backstroke (back)



Breaststroke (breast)



Freestyle (free)



Events in competition may have only one of these styles except in the case of the individual medley, or IM, which consists of all four. In this latter event, swimmers swim equal distances of butterfly, then backstroke, breaststroke, and finally, freestyle. [7] In Olympic competition, this event (called the "IM") is swam in these distances - 200 or 400 meters. Some competition also swims the 100 yard or meter IM - particularly, for younger swimmers (typically under 14 years) involved in club swimming, or masters swimming (over 18).

 Competition pools 

World Championship pools must be 50 meters (160 ft.) (long course) long and 25 meters (82 ft.) wide, with ten lanes labelled zero to nine (or one to ten in some pools; zero and nine (or one and ten) are usually left empty in semi-finals and finals); the lanes must be at least 2.5 meters (8.2 ft.) wide. They will be equipped with starting blocks at both ends of the pool and most will have Automatic Officiating Equipment, including touch pads to record times and sensors to ensure the legality of relay take overs. The pool must have a minimum depth of two meters.[9]



Other pools which host events under FINA regulations are required to meet some but not all of these requirements. Many of these pools have eight instead of ten lanes and some will be 25 meters (82 ft.) long, making them Short course. World records that are set in

short course pools are kept separate from those set in long course pools because it may be an advantage or disadvantage to swimmers to have more or less turns in a race.

 Basket Ball Olympic sports since 1936

  

 

Basketball is a sport played by two teams of five players on a rectangular court. The objective is to shoot a ball through a hoop 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter and 10 feet (3.048 m) high mounted to a backboard at each end. Basketball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the most popular and widely considered to be the highest level of professional basketball in the world and NBA players are the world's best paid sportsmen, by average annual salary per player.



A team can score a field goal by shooting the ball through the basket during regular play.

A field goal scores three points for the shooting team if the player shoots from behind the three-point line, and two points if shot from in front of the line. A team can also score via free throws, which are worth one point, after the other team was assessed with certain fouls. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins, but additional time (overtime) is issued when the score is tied at the end of regulation. The ball can be advanced on the court by throwing it to a teammate, or by bouncing it while walking or running (dribbling). It is a violation to lift, or drag, one's pivot foot without dribbling the ball, to carry it, or to hold the ball with both hands then resume dribbling.



There are many techniques for ball handling—shooting, passing, dribbling, and rebounding. Basketball teams generally have player positions, the tallest and strongest members of a team are called a center or power forward, while slightly shorter and more agile players are called small forward, and the shortest players or those who possess the best ball handling skills are called a guarder shooting guard. The point guard directs the on

court action of the team, implementing the coach's game plan, and managing the execution of offensive and defensive plays (player positioning). 

In basketball, the basketball court is the playing surface, consisting of a rectangular floor with tiles at either end. In professional or organized basketball, especially when played indoors, it is usually made out of a wood, often maple, and highly polished. Outdoor surfaces are generally made from standard paving materials such as concrete or asphalt.

 Dimensions



Basketball courts come in different sizes and colors. In the NBA, the court is 94 feet (29 m) by 50 feet (15 m). Under International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rules,[1] the court is minutely smaller, measuring exactly 28 meters (92 ft.) by 15 meters (49 ft.). A high school court is slightly smaller, at 84 feet (26 m) by 50 feet (15 m). In amateur basketball, court sizes vary widely. The baskets are always 10 feet (3.0 m) above the floor (except possibly in youth competition). Basketball courts have a three-point arc at both baskets. A basket made from behind this arc is worth three points; a basket made from within this line, or with a player's foot touching the line is worth two points. The free-throw line, where one stands while taking a foul shot, is located within the three-point arc.

 Height 

The height of the underside of the roof structure, or the ceiling if there is one, above the floor is specified by each sport’s governing body, and this is a critical design factor.

Badminton, tennis and trampolining require an unrestricted height of 9.1m for international competition, while 7.6m is necessary at C level in all sports except those for which height is not critical. In general a basketball court should have a minimum clearance of 25 feet (7.7m), although a ceiling height of at least 27 feet (8.23m) is recommended.



The NBA three-point line is 3 ft. (0.91 m) from the side-line in a zone starting at the baseline and ending when it crosses the 23.75 ft. (7.24 m) arc. The 22 ft. (6.70 m) measurement applies only at a point where a line parallel to the baseline intersects the long axis of the court and the centre of the basket.



The FIBA three-point line is 2.95 ft. (0.90 m) from the side-line in a zone starting at the baseline and ending when it crosses the 22.1 ft. (6.75 m) arc. The 21.65 ft. (6.60 m) measurement applies only at a point where a line parallel to the baseline intersects the long axis of the court and the centre of the basket.

 Sections of Basket Ball Court  Center Circle 

The only two players permitted to enter this area prior to the tipoff are the players contesting the jump ball (usually but not always centres). Both players jump when the referee throws the ball in the air, each attempting to tap the ball into the hands of a player of their own team.

 Three-Point Line 

The three-point line is the line that separates the two-point area from the three-point area; any shot converted beyond this line counts as three points. If the shooting player steps on the line, it is counted as two points only. Any foul made in the act of shooting beyond the three-point line would give the player three free throws if the shot doesn't go in, and one if it does.



The distance to the three-point line from the centre of the basket varies depending on the level or league, and has changed several times. These are the current distances, with the league or level using each distance: 19.75 ft. (6.01 m): High School 20.75 ft. (6.32 m): NCAA 21.65 ft. (6.60 m) to 22.15 ft. (6.75 m): WNBA and FIBA 22 ft. (6.71 m) to 23.75 ft. (7.24 m): NBA



The NBA adopted the three-point line at the start of the 1979–80 seasons. This is of variable distance, ranging from 22 feet (6.7 m) in the corners to 23.75 feet (7.24 m) behind

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

the top of the key. During the 1994–95, 1995–96 and 1996–97 seasons, the NBA attempted to address decreased scoring by shortening the overall distance of the line to a uniform 22 feet (6.7 m) around the basket. It was moved back to its original distance after the 1996–97 seasons. FIBA and the NCAA both adopted the three-point line in 1985. 

In most high school associations in the United States, the distance is 19.75 feet. This was formerly the distance for college basketball as well. On May 26, 2007, the NCAA playing rules committee agreed to move the three-point line back one foot to 20.75 feet for the men. This rule went into effect for the 2008–2009 seasons. The three-point line for women (NCAA) moved back one foot to 20.75 feet at the start of the 2011–2012 seasons.



The international distance, used in most countries outside the United States and in FIBA and WNBA competition, is currently 6.6 m (21.65 ft.) to 6.75 m (22.15 ft.).

 Perimeter 

The perimeter is defined as the areas outside the free throw lane and inside the threepoint line. Shots converted (successfully made) from this area are called "perimeter shots" or "medium-range shots." If a player's foot is on the three-point line, the shot is considered a perimeter shot.

 Low Post Area 

The low post is defined as the areas that are closest to the basket but outside of the free throw lane.[4] This area is fundamental to strategy in basketball. Skilled low post players can score many points per game without ever taking a jump shot.

 Key 

The key, free throw lane or shaded lane refers to the usually painted area beneath the basket; for the NBA it is 16 feet (4.9 m) wide, for the NCAA it is 12 feet (3.7 m) wide; for both instances it extends 15 feet (4.6 m) from the backboard. At the top of the rectangle is the free throw line, behind which players shoot uncontested shots when they're fouled. A circle is drawn around the free-throw line with a 6 feet (1.8 m) radius; this is used for jump ball instances, as is done at the centre circle. Two 6-inch hash lines, 3 ft. from the free throw lane line and 5 ft. 8 in from the free throw line, show the lower defensive box linked to the restricted area.

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”



For FIBA tournaments, since October 2010 the key has been a rectangle 4.9 m wide and 5.8 m long. Previously it was a trapezoid 3.7 meters (12 ft.) wide at the free-throw line and 6 meters (19 feet and 6.25 inches) at the end line.



The key is primarily used to prevent players from staying beneath the basket of the opponents' team for long periods (maximum three seconds).

 Restricted Area Arc 

The restricted area arc is a semi-circular arc drawn around the area directly underneath the basket. With some exceptions, members of the defending team cannot draw charging fouls in this area. The restricted arc in NBA and WNBA competition has a radius 4 feet (1.22 m) from below the centre of the basket. The restricted arc in NCAA competition (both men's and women's) is of radius 3 feet (0.91 m) from below the centre of the basket.

 Other Lines 

On NBA floors, two hash marks are drawn at the end lines near the key to mark the area known as the lower defensive box. A defensive player is allowed to draw a charging foul within the restricted arc if the offensive player receives the ball and/or starts his drive within this area.[5]



Also, two lines are drawn on each of the side-lines, 28 feet from each of the end lines, which designate the extent of the coaching box and bench. This line marks the farthest extent a coach (aside from the side-lines) can stand. Directly behind this area is the team bench.



On the half-court line of NBA floors two lines extend outside the playing court, designating the place where substitutes wait before they can enter the playing court; directly behind this area are the various off-court officials such as the timekeeper and reserve referee.

 Volleyball Olympic sports since 1964

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA



Volleyball is a team sport in which two teams of six players are separated by a net. Each team tries to score points by grounding a ball on the other team's court under organized rules.[1] It has been a part of the official program of the Games since 1964.



The complete rules are extensive. But simply, play proceeds as follows: a player on one of the teams begins a 'rally' by serving the ball (tossing or releasing it and then hitting it with a hand or arm), from behind the back boundary line of the court, over the net, and into the receiving team's court. The receiving team must not let the ball be grounded within their court. The team may touch the ball up to 3 times but individual players may not touch the ball twice consecutively. Typically, the first two touches are used to set up for an attack, an attempt to direct the ball back over the net in such a way that the serving team is unable to prevent it from being grounded in their court.



The rally continues, with each team allowed as many as three consecutive touches, until either (1): a team makes a kill, grounding the ball on the opponent's court and winning the rally; or (2): a team commits a fault and loses the rally. The team that wins the rally is awarded a point, and serves the ball to start the next rally. A few of the most common faults include:



causing the ball to touch the ground or floor outside the opponents' court or without first passing over the net;



catching and throwing the ball;



double hit: two consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same player;



four consecutive contacts with the ball made by the same team;



net foul: touching the net during play;



Foot fault: the foot crosses over the boundary line when serving.



The ball is usually played with the hands or arms, but players can legally strike or push (short contact) the ball with any part of the body.

 Overall Dimensions 

The overall measurements for a Volleyball court are 60 feet by 30 feet. Each side of the court is therefore 30 feet by 30 feet in size.

 Center Line  A center line is marked at the center of the court dividing it equally into 30 feet squares.

 Attack Line  The attack line is marked 10 feet on each side of the center line of the court. Some rules show the attack line at 9′ 10″ however that includes the width of the line itself (2″).

 Service Line 

A service line is marked 10 feet inside the right sideline on each back line. This is the area from which the server may serve the volleyball.

 The Net 

The net is hung directly above the center line at 7 feet 4 inches for women and 8 feet for men.

 Standards 

Volleyball standards should be set at 36 feet apart, 3 feet on either side of the sidelines.

 Ceiling Height 

The minimum ceiling height should be 23 feet. Preferably the ceilings should be higher.

 Tennis Olympic Sports since 1896

 Tennis is a racket sport that can be played individually against a single opponent (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a tennis racket that is strung with cord to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over or around a net and into the opponent's court. The object of the game is to play the ball in such a way that the opponent is not able to play a valid return. The player who is unable to return the ball will not gain a point, while the opposite player will.  Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society and at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including wheelchair users. The modern game of tennis originated in Birmingham, England, in the late 19th century as "lawn

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA

tennis".[1] It had close connections both to various field ("lawn") games such as croquet and bowls as well as to the older racket sport of real tennis. During most of the 19th-century in fact, the term "tennis" referred to real tennis, not lawn tennis: for example, in Disraeli's novel Sybil (1845), Lord Eugene De Vere announces that he will "go down to Hampton Court and play tennis."[2]  The rules of tennis have changed little since the 1890s. Two exceptions are that from 1908 to 1961 the server had to keep one foot on the ground at all times, and the adoption of the tiebreak in the 1970s. A recent addition to professional tennis has been the adoption of electronic review technology coupled with a point challenge system, which allows a player to contest the line call of a point.  Tennis is played by millions of recreational players and is also a popular worldwide spectator sport. The four Slam tournaments (also referred to as the "Majors") are especially popular: the Australian Open played on hard courts, the French Open played on red clay courts, Wimbledon played on grass courts, and the US Open played also on hard courts.

 Court  A tennis court is the venue where the sport of tennis is played. It is a firm rectangular surface with a low net stretched across the centre. The same surface can be used to play both doubles and singles matches. A variety of surfaces can be used to create a tennis court, each with its own characteristics which affect the playing style of the game.

 The dimension of tennis court  Tennis is played on a rectangular flat surface, usually of grass, clay or hard material. The dimensions of a tennis court are defined and regulated by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) governing body and are written down in the annual 'Rules of Tennis' document. The court is 78 feet (23.77 metres) long. Its width is 27 feet (8.23 metres) for singles matches and 36 feet (10.97 metres) for doubles matches. [2] The service line is 21 feet (6.40 metres) from the net. [2] Additional clear space around the court is needed in order for players to reach overrun balls for a total of 60 feet (18 metres) wide and 120 feet (37 metres) long. A net is stretched across the full width of the court, parallel with the baselines, dividing it into two equal ends. The net is 3 feet 6 inches (1.07 metres) high at the posts, and 3 feet (0.91 metres) high in the centre. The net posts are 3 feet (0.91

metres) outside the doubles court on each side or, for a singles net, 3 feet (0.91 metres) outside the singles court on each side.

 Surfaces  Tennis is played on a variety of surfaces and each surface has its own characteristics which affect the playing style of the game. There are four main types of courts depending on the materials used for the court surface: clay courts, hard courts, grass courts and carpet courts. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) lists different surfaces and properties and classifies surfaces into one of five pace settings: [4]  Category 1 (slow)  Category 2 (medium-slow)  Category 3 (medium)  Category 4 (medium-fast)  Category 5 (fast)  Of the current Grand Slam tournaments, the US Open and Australian Open use hard courts, the French Open is played on clay, and Wimbledon is played on grass and is the only Grand Slam tournament to have always been played on one surface. The Australian Open switched to hard courts in 1988 and in its early years the French championship alternated between clay and sand/rubble courts. The US Open is the only one of the four majors to have been played on three surfaces; the tournament was played on grass from its inception until 1974, on green clay until 1977, and on hard courts since the tournament moved from the West Side Tennis Club to the National Tennis Centre in 1978.

 Clay courts The French Open is played on clay courts.  Clay courts are made of crushed shale, stone, or brick. The French Open is the only Grand Slam tournament to use clay courts.  Clay courts slow down the ball and produce a high bounce in comparison to grass courts or hard courts. [6] For this reason, the clay court takes away many of the advantages of big serves, which makes it hard for server-based players to dominate on the surface. Clay courts are

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

80

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA

cheaper to construct than other types of tennis courts, but a clay surface costs more to maintain. Clay courts need to be rolled to preserve flatness. The clay's water content must be balanced; green courts generally require the courts to be sloped to allow water run-off. 

Clay courts are more common in Europe and Latin America than in North America and tend to heavily favour baseline players.

 Grass courts Grass court maintenance at Wimbledon  Grass courts are the fastest type of courts in common use.[6] They consist of grass grown on very hard-packed soil, which adds additional variables: bounces depend on how healthy the grass is, how recently it has been mown, and the wear and tear of recent play. Points are usually very quick where fast, low bounces keep rallies short, and the serve plays a more important role than on other surfaces. Grass courts tend to favour serve-and-volley tennis players. 

Grass courts were once among the most common tennis surfaces, but are now rare due to high maintenance costs, as they must be watered and mown often, and take a longer time to dry after rain than hard courts. The grass surface, however, is the most compatible with the human body because of its softness.

 Hard courts Rooftop tennis hard courts in Downtown Singapore  Hard courts are made of uniform rigid material, often covered with an acrylic surface layer. Offering greater consistency

surfaces.[7] Hard courts can vary in speed, although they are faster than clay but not as fast as grass courts. The quantity of sand added to the paint can greatly affect the rate at which the ball slows down. The US Open is played on Deco Turf, while the Australian is played on Plexicushion, both acrylic topped hard court surfaces.

covering.[6] Indoor arenas store rolls of rubber-backed court surfacing and install it temporarily for tennis events, however they are not in use any more for professional events. A short piled form of artificial turf in filled with sand is used for some outdoor courts, particularly in Asia. Carpet is generally a fast surface, faster than hard-court, with low bounce.[6]  Notable tennis tournaments previously held on carpet courts were the WCT Finals, Paris Masters, U.S. Pro Indoor and Kremlin Cup. Since 2009 their use has been discontinued on the ATP tour.

 Indoor courts Any court surface may be used indoors. Hard courts are most common indoors, as they are made with the most versatile materials and surface finishes. Clay courts are installed indoors with underground watering systems, and used mostly for Davis Cup matches. The conclusion of the Wimbledon Championships, in 2012, was played on the lawn of the Centre Court under the roof and artificial lights, the first time such a retractable roof stadium was used. Carpet surfaces have been used both on the ATP World Tour and the World Championship Tennis circuit, though no events currently use them. Historically, other surfaces have been used indoors, such as hardwood at the defunct World Covered Court Championships.

 Smaller courts  The ITF campaign Play and Stay aims to increase tennis participation worldwide, by improving the way children are introduced to the game. The campaign promotes playing on smaller courts with slower red, orange and green balls. This gives children more time and control so that they can serve, rally, and score from the first lesson on courts that are sized to fit their bodies. The ITF has mandated that official competition for children less

than 10 years of age should be played on so-called Orange courts 18 m (59 ft.) long by 6.4 m (21 ft.) wide. Competition for children less than 8 years is played on Red courts that are 11 m (36 ft.) long and 5.5 m (18 ft.) wide. The net is 0.8m high in the centre.

 Badminton Olympic sports since 1992

 Badminton is a recreational sport played using rackets to hit a shuttlecock across a net.

Although it may be played with larger teams, the most common forms of the game are "singles" (with one player per side) and "doubles" (with two players per side). Badminton is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yard or on a beach; formal games are played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are scored by striking the shuttlecock with the racket and landing it within the opposing side's half of the court. Each side may only strike the shuttlecock once before it passes over the net. Play ends once the shuttlecock has struck the floor or if a fault has been called by the umpire, service judge, or (in their absence) the opposing side.[1]  The shuttlecock is a feathered or (in informal matches) plastic projectile which flies differently from the balls used in many other sports. In particular, the feathers create much higher drag, causing the shuttlecock to decelerate more rapidly. Shuttlecocks also have a high top speed compared to the balls in other racket sports.  The game developed in British India from the earlier game of battledore and shuttlecock.

European play came to be dominated by Denmark but the game has become very popular in Asia, with recent competition dominated by China. Since 1992, badminton has been a Summer Olympic sport with five events: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, in which each pair consists of a man and a woman.

At high levels of play, the sport demands excellent fitness: players require aerobic stamina, agility, strength, speed, and precision. It is also a technical sport, requiring good motor coordination and the development of sophisticated racquet movements.

 Court  The court is rectangular and divided into halves by a net. Courts are usually marked for both singles and doubles play, although badminton rules permit a court to be marked for singles only. The doubles court is wider than the singles court, but both are of same length. The exception, which often causes confusion to newer players, is that the doubles court has a shorter serve-length dimension.

 Overall Court Dimensions  The overall dimensions of a badminton court are 20 feet by 44 feet. The lines along these measurements mark the sidelines for doubles play and long service lines for singles play.

 The Net Line  The net line marks the middle of the court where the net is placed, creating a 22 feet by 20 feet area on each side of the net.

 Short Service Line  The short service line is marked 6 feet 6 inches (some are marked 7 feet) from the center line. The area inside the short service line is also called the Non Volley Zone.

 Center Line  The Center Line is the line that divides the court from the Short Service Line to the Back Boundary Line. This delineates the Left from Right Service Court.

 Side Line for Singles Play  The Singles Side Line is marked 1 1/2 feet from the edge of the outer boundary (doubles side line)

 Back Boundary Line and Long Service Line for Singles  The back boundary line is the same for singles and doubles play it is the outermost back line on the court.

 Long Service Line for Doubles  The Long Service line for Doubles is marked 2 1/2 feet inside the Back Boundary Line.

 The Badminton Net  The badminton net measures 5 feet tall in the center.

 Table tennis olympic sports since 1988

 Table tennis, also known as ping pong, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a table using a small, round bat. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. Except for the initial serve, the rules are generally as follows: Players must allow a ball played toward them to one time on their side of the table, and must return it so that it bounces on the opposite side at least once. Points are scored when a player fails to return the ball within the rules. Play is fast and demands quick reactions. Spinning the ball alters its trajectory and limits an opponent's options, giving the hitter a great advantage. When doing so the hitter has a better chance of scoring if the spin is successful.  Table tennis is governed by the worldwide organization International Table Tennis Federation, founded in 1926. ITTF currently includes 220 member associations. The table tennis official rules are specified in the ITTF handbook. Table tennis has been an Olympic sport since 1988, with several event categories. In particular, from 1988 until 2004, these were: men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles and women's doubles. Since 2008, a team event has been played instead of the doubles.

 Equipment  Ball Assortment of 40mm table tennis ball He international rules specify that the game is played with a sphere having a mass of 2.7 grams (0.095 oz.) and a diameter of 40 millimetres (1.57 in).[22] The rules say that the ball shall bounce up 24–26 cm (9.4–10.2 in) when dropped from a height of 30.5 cm (12.0 in) onto a standard steel block thereby having a coefficient of restitution of 0.89 to 0.92. The ball is made of plastic as of 2015,

colored white or orange, with a matte finish. The choice of ball color is made according to the table color and its surroundings. For example, a white ball is easier to see on a green or blue table than it is on a grey table. Manufacturers often indicate the quality of the ball with a star rating system, usually from one to three, three being the highest grade. As this system is not standard across manufacturers, the only way a ball may be used in official competition is upon ITTF approval (the ITTF approval can be seen printed on the ball).  The 40 mm ball was introduced after the 2000 Summer Olympics.[18] However, this created some controversy at the time as the Chinese National Team argued that this was merely to give non-Chinese players a better chance of winning since the new type of ball has a slower speed (a 40 mm table tennis ball is slower and spins less than the original 38 mm one, and at that time, most Chinese players were playing with fast attack and smashes). China won all four Olympic gold medals and three silvers in 2000, and have continued to dominate.

 Table  The table is 2.74 m (9.0 ft.) long, 1.525 m (5.0 ft.) wide, and 76 cm (2.5 ft.) high with any continuous material so long as the table yields a uniform bounce of about 23 cm (9.1 in) when a standard ball is dropped onto it from a height of 30 cm (11.8 in), or about 77%.[23][24] The table or playing surface is uniformly dark coloured and matte, divided into two halves by a net at 15.25 cm (6.0 in) in height. Theist approves only wooden tables or their derivate. Concrete tables with a steel net or a solid concrete partition are sometimes available in outside public spaces, such as parks. [25]

 Paddle/racket  Players are equipped with a laminated wooden racket covered with rubber on one or two sides depending on the grip of the player. The ITTF uses the term "racket", [26] though "bat" is common in Britain, and "paddle" in the U.S.  The wooden portion of the racket, often referred to as the "blade", commonly features anywhere between one and seven plies of wood, though cork, glass fibre, carbon fibre, aluminium fibre, and Kevlar are sometimes used. According to the ITTF regulations, at least 85% of the blade by thickness shall be of natural wood. [27] Common wood types include balsa, limba, and cypress or "hinoki," which is popular in Japan. The average size

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA

of the blade is about 17 centimetres (6.7 in) long and 15 centimetres (5.9 in) wide.

Although the official restrictions only focus on the flatness and rigidness of the blade itself, these dimensions are optimal for most play styles.  Table tennis regulations allow different surfaces on each side of the racket. [28] Various types of surfaces provide various levels of spin or speed, and in some cases they nullify spin. For example, a player may have a rubber that provides much spin on one side of his racket, and one that provides no spin on the other. By flipping the racket in play, different types of returns are possible. To help a player distinguish between the rubbers used by his opposing player, international rules specify that one side must be red while the other side must be black.[27] The player has the right to inspect his opponent's racket before a match to see the type of rubber used and what colour it is. Despite high speed play and rapid exchanges, a player can see clearly what side of the racket was used to hit the ball.

Current rules state that, unless damaged in play, the racket cannot be exchanged for another racket at any time during a match

 Skating Olympic sports since 1924

 Skating involves any sports or recreational activity which consists of traveling on surfaces or on ice using skates.  There are several different kinds of skating :

 Hard surface  Roller skating, the traveling on surfaces with roller skates  Inline skating, traveling on surfaces with skates having one line of wheels

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

87

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA  Freestyle slalom skating, a field of inline skating that involves performing tricks around a

straight line of equally spaced cones  Vet skating, riding inline skates on a vert ramp  Aggressive inline skating, inline skating executed on specially designed inline skates with

focus on grinding and spins  Inline speed skating, the roller sport of racing on inline skates  Artistic roller skating, a sport similar to figure skating but where contestants run on roller

skates instead of ice skates  Road skating, the sport of skating (inline skating or roller skating) on roads, much like road

cycling. It shares much with inline speed skating  Skateboarding, an action sport which involves riding and performing tricks using a

skateboard  Roller skating is the traveling on surfaces with roller skates. It is a form of recreational activity as well as a sport, and can also be a form of transportation. Skates generally come in three basic varieties: quad roller skates, inline skates or blades and tri-skates, though some have experimented with a single-wheeled "quintessence skate" or other variations on the basic skate design. In America, this hobby was most popular, first between 1935 and the early 1960s and then in the 1970s, when polyurethane wheels were created and "Disco" oriented roller rinks were the rage and then again in the 1990s when in-line outdoor roller skating, thanks to the improvement made to inline roller skates in 1981 by Scott Olson, took hold.

 Gym

 A gym, short for gymnasium, is an open air or covered location for gymnastics and athletics and gymnastic services such as in schools and colleges, from the ancient Greek gymnasium.[1]  Gymnasia apparatus such as bar-bells, parallel bars, jumping board, running path, tennisballs, cricket field, fencing area, and so forth are used as exercises. In safe weather,

outdoor locations are the most conductive to health.[2] Gyms were popular in ancient Greece. Their curricula included Gymnastic military or self-defense, gymnastic medical, or physical therapy to help the sick and injured, and gymnastic athletic for physical fitness and sports, from boxing to dance.[3]  These gymnasia also had teachers of wisdom and philosophy. Community gymnastic events were done as part of the celebrations during various village festivals. In ancient Greece there was a phrase of contempt, "He can neither swim nor write." After a while, however, Olympic athletes began training in buildings just for them. Community sports never became as popular among ancient Romans as it had among the ancient Greeks.

Gyms were used more as a preparation for military service or spectator sports. During the Roman Empire, the gymnastic art was forgotten. In the Dark Ages there were sword fighting tournaments and of chivalry; and after gunpowder was invented sword fighting began to be replaced by the sport of fencing. There were schools of dagger fighting and wrestling and boxing.[4]  Then in the 18th century, Salzmann, German clergyman, opened a gym in Thuringia teaching bodily exercises, including running and swimming. Clias and Volker established gyms in London, and in 1825, Doctor Beck, a German immigrant, established the first gymnasium in the United States. It was found that gym pupils lose interest in doing the same exercises, partly because of age. Variety in exercises included skating, dancing, and swimming. Some gym activities can be done by 6 to 8 year olds while age 16 has been considered mature enough for boxing and horseback riding.[5]  In Ancient Greece the gymnasium (γυμνάσιον) was a locality for both physical and intellectual education of young men. The latter meaning of intellectual education persisted in Greek, German and other languages to denote a certain type of school providing secondary education, the gymnasium, whereas in English the meaning of physical education was pertained in the word 'gym'.  The Greek word gymnasium means "school for naked exercise" and was used to designate a locality for the education of young men, including physical education (gymnastics, i.e. exercise) which was customarily performed naked, as well as bathing, and studies. For the Greeks, physical education was considered as important as cognitive learning. Most Greek gymnasia had libraries that could be utilized after relaxing in the baths.

 Billiards

 Snooker (UK /ˈsnuːkər/, US /ˈsnʊkər/)[2][3] is a cue sport played on a table covered with a green cloth or baize, with pockets at each of the four corners and in the middle of each of the long side cushions. A full-size table measures 11 ft. 81⁄2 in × 5 ft. 10 in (3569 mm x 1778 mm), commonly referred to as 12 × 6 ft.  The game is played using a cue and 22 snooker balls: one white cue ball, 15 red balls worth one point each, and six balls of different colors: yellow (2 points), green (3), brown (4), blue (5), pink (6) and black (7).[4] The red balls are initially placed in a triangular formation, and the other colored balls on marked positions on the table known as "spots".

Players execute shots by striking the cue ball with the cue, causing the cue ball to hit a red or colored ball. Points are scored by sinking the red and colored balls (knocking them into the pockets, called "potting") in the correct sequence. A player receives additional points if the opponent commits a foul. A player (or team) wins a frame (individual game) of snooker by scoring more points than the opponent(s). A player wins a match when a predetermined number of frames have been won.  A billiard table designed for the games snooker and English billiards is usually called a snooker table.

 Dimensions  The playing area of a tournament snooker tables, as standardized by the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA or World Snooker) and the amateur International Billiards and Snooker Federation (IBSF) which uses WPBSA rules,[10] measures

11 feet 8.5 inches by 5 ft. 10 in

(356.9 cm by 177.8 cm)

with

a

tolerance of ± 0.5 in (13 mm),[11] though commonly referred to as 12 ft. by 6 ft. Smaller tables, approximately 10 ft. by 5 ft. down to half size, are also sometimes used in pubs,

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA

homes and smaller snooker halls. The height from the floor to the top of the cushion is between 2 ft. 9.5 in and 2 ft. 10.5 in (85.1 cm and 87.6 cm).[11]

 Pockets  A snooker table has six pockets, one at each corner and one at the centre of each of the longest side cushions. The pockets are around 86 mm (3.5 in), though high-class tournaments may use slightly smaller pockets to increase difficulty. The amount of undercut (trimmed underside of the rubber cushion's protruding nose at the pocket opening),[12]:8 if any, has a strong effect on how easily a ball is accepted by the pocket (the "pocket speed"). On snooker and English billiards tables, the pocket entries are rounded, while pool tables have sharp "knuckles". This affects how accurate shots need to be to get into a pocket, and how fast they can be when not dead-on, including shots that run along and against a cushion, making snooker more difficult to play than pool. According to the WPBSA official rule book, "the pocket openings shall conform to the templates owned and authorised

by

The

World

Professional

Billiards

and

Snooker

Association

(WPBSA)".[11] The WPBSA and IBSF rule books' equipment sections do not actually specify the measurements and shapes of these proprietary templates [10][11] which change from time to time, requiring that the templates be dated. [13] The organisations do not recognise tournament play or records (maximum breaks, etc.) if not performed on tables that conform to then-current templates.[13][14]

 Cushions  The cushions (sometimes known as rails, though that term properly applies to the wood sections to which the cushions are attached) are usually made of vulcanized rubber.

 Markings  The baulk area is marked by a baulk line drawn on the cloth across the width of the table at 29 inches (737 mm) from and parallel to the face of the bottom cushion.[11] A semicircle with a radius of 11.5 inches (292 mm) cantered on this line within baulk forms the "D"[11] in which the cue ball must be placed when breaking or after the cue ball has been potted or shot off the table. The position of four of the colours are marked along the long

string (lengthwise centre) of the table, perpendicular to the baulk line: the black spot, 12.75 inches (324 mm) from the top cushion; the centre spot or blue spot, located at the

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

91

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA

midpoint between the bottom and top cushions; the pyramid spot or pink spot, located midway between the centre spot and the top cushion; and the baulk spot or brown spot, located at the midpoint of the baulk line [11] (and, thus of the "D"). Due to its obviousness, the brown spot is not always marked (neither are the unmistakable green and yellow

spots,[11] at the left and right intersections, respectively, of the baulk line and the "D"'s curve.[1]:116,

278[11]

the exact placing of these markings are different on smaller tables, but

proportional to the full-size model.

 The bed  The playing surface of a good quality snooker table has a bed of slate and is covered with baize cloth, traditionally green, though many other colours are now available. The thickness of this cloth determines the table's speed (lack of friction) and responsiveness to spin, thicker cloths being longer lasting but slower and less responsive. The nap of the cloth can affect the run of the balls, especially on slower shots and shots played with sidespin applied to the cue ball. A snooker table traditionally has the nap running from the baulk to the top end and is brushed and ironed in this direction.

 Squash

 Squash is a racket sport played by two (singles) or four players (doubles) in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. The players must alternate in striking the ball with their racket and hit the ball onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court.  The game was formerly called squash rackets, a reference to the "squash able" soft ball used in the game (compared with the harder ball used in its sister game rackets).  Squash is recognized by the IOC and supporters are lobbying for its incorporation in a future Olympic program.

“RECREATION CLUB AT THANE”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA

 The court  The squash court is a playing surface surrounded by four walls. The court surface contains a front line separating the front and back of the court and a half court line, separating the left and right hand sides of the back portion of the court, creating three 'boxes': the front half, the back left quarter and the back right quarter. Both the back two boxes contain smaller service boxes. The floor-markings on a squash court are only relevant during serves.  There are four walls to a squash court. The front wall, on which three parallel lines are marked, has the largest playing surface, whilst the back wall, which typically contains the entrance to the court, has the smallest. The outline runs along the top of the front wall, descending along the side walls to the back wall. There are no other markings on the side or back walls. Shots struck above or touching the outline, on any wall, are out. The bottom line of the front wall marks the top of the 'tin', a half metre-high metal area which if struck means that the ball is out. In this way the tin can is seen as analogous to the net in other racket sports such as tennis. The middle line of the front wall is the service line and is only relevant during serves.

 Service  The players spin a racket to decide who serves first. This player starts the first rally by electing to serve from either the left or right service box. For a legal serve, one of the server's feet must be touching the service box, not touching any part of the service box lines, as the player strikes the ball. After being struck by the racket, the ball must strike the front wall above the service line and below the outline and land in the opposite back quarter court. The receiving player can choose to volley a serve after it has hit the front wall. If the server wins the point, the two players switch sides for the following point.

 Play  After the serve, the players take turns hitting the ball against the front wall, above the tin and below the outline. The ball may strike the side or back walls at any time, as long as it hits below the outline. It must not hit the floor after hitting the racket and before hitting the front wall. A ball landing on either the outline or the line along the top of the tin is considered to be out. After the ball hits the front wall, it is allowed to bounce once on the

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..………TECHNICAL DATA

floor (and any number of times against the side or back walls) before a player must return it. Players may move anywhere around the court but accidental or deliberate obstruction of the other player's movements is forbidden. Players typically return to the centre of the court after making a shot.

 Bowling

 Bowling refers to a series of sports leisure activities in which a player rolls or throws a bowling ball towards a target. It is one of the major forms of throwing sports. In pin bowling variations, the target is usually to knock over pins at the end of a lane. When all the pins are knocked down on the first roll, this is a strike. In target variations, the aim is usually to get the ball as close to a mark as possible. The pin version of bowling is often played on a flat wooden or other synthetic surface (which can be oiled in different patterns for different techniques), while in target bowling, the surface may be grass, gravel or a synthetic surface. The most common types of pin bowling include ten-pin, nine-pin, candlepin, duckpin and five-pin bowling, while in target bowling, bowls, skittles, kegel, bocce, carpet bowls, pétanque, and boules, both indoor and outdoor varieties are popular. Today the sport of bowling is enjoyed by 100 million people in more than 90 countries worldwide (including 70 million in the U.S.), and continues to grow through entertainment media such as video games for home consoles and handheld devices.
