Tournament Capital Centre


          Tournament Capital Centre is the athletic gem of Kamloops. Through my monthly membership of $45 I have access to multiple basketball courts, workout rooms, aquatic centres, and many other amazing options to stay in shape. From my perspective TCC, offers the most bang for your buck in Kamloops. Furthermore, it is situated right next to Thompson Rivers University which makes it easily accessible to those living in South Kamloops and to the many buses that transfer in that area.  If you're interested in partaking multiple activities each week, TCC is the place for you. For example, TCC is the only place in the interior that offers a public field house with three courts, track and workout stations. On the other hand, there are a few downsides to the Tournament Capital Centre. The first problem is it's busy schedule. Sometimes after school I attempt to play on basketball on the courts at TCC but each time,  to my dismay, I find out that the courts are closed from 4:00-6:00. This is common at TCC as TRU's athletic teams, Kamloops Swim Club as well as the Kamloops Track and Field Club close the field house and pool for private practices. Another downfall with TCC is how busy it can be. If you are looking for a quiet gym to do your workout in, I wouldn't recommend going to this facility. The way I've levitated these problems is to regularly check TCC's schedule and try to go early mornings or late night's. Furthermore, in summer months many people use the outdoor track which cuts down on the amount of people using the indoor facilities. Tournament Capital Centre is a great addition to Kamloops.
