My friends are asking me to join different sports clubs, but I am having difficulty deciding which one I should choose.
If I were you, I would choose clubs related to team sports, like basketball, baseball, or soccer. They are more exciting than individual sports.

Good point about that. I guess I would join the basketball club since I have watched basketball games before. However, I have not tried playing that sport.
Great choice. I am sure your friends will teach you before having try-outs. You can do it!

Thanks. This is also my chance to be active and fit. I hope I pass the try-outs.
Sure, you will! Good luck!
