South China Athletic Association

I never realized the value of having a sports club sponsor a rugby team up until recently. I’ve played rugby for Causeway Bay and for many years all we had was a changing room and a couple of showers. Hong Kong Football Club has… Hong Kong Football club and a few other teams have their own fancy clubs.
Some how we managed to get the SCAA on board and since then I’ve discovered things about the place I would have never imagined. It has a huge range of facilities, including bowling as well as the other more boring sports like badminton… or squash. There are also a couple of restaurants within the complex that cater to different preferences in terms of cuisine and cash flow.
Most of the time I go there (with my team) to eat in their new Inside Out restaurant, a simple place that serves great burgers, lots of beer, and has one sports or another playing on big screens. It was obviously designed to support sports teams as it’s partitioned off from the rest of the floor, which happens to be a DIY barbecue. It’s certainly better off that way, for safety reasons, considering the amount of alcohol consumed during the meal.
And there was me, walking by the place twice a week thinking why on earth would people want to join that place just for a driving ranger?! It turns out there is a lot more than meets the eye and still more for me to experience. It’s a great place to go with a group of friends for a list of occasions — drinking games while golfing, a hardcore gym workout, or just a meal with the family, it’s got it all.
