The first thing we are going to do is determine the etymological origin of the term club. In doing so we will discover that it is a word that comes from English, more precisely from the word “club” which, in turn, emanates from the Germanic “klubba”, which is synonymous with “pile of firewood”.
A club is a society created by a group of people who share certain interests and who jointly develop cultural, recreational or sports activities. Members of a club associate freely with the intention of enriching their social life.

A wide variety of activities can take place in a club. There are sports clubs, cultural clubs and other. All these institutions have in common the absence of profit motive. This means that clubs are not created to obtain an economic profit, although they can look for income to finance their operation.
