The desires vary from one practitioner to another. As we have seen in the previous section, some practitioners are more in search of competition, so they focus for example on the quality of infrastructure. Others are looking for fun, a moment of sharing, so they take their practice habits in more warm, friendly places.

There is not really a unanimous rule on this subject, the desires are different according to each one. Each player has their own expectations. A player can even play in a place of some sort of "spite", because it is the center closest to his home or place of work. It should be noted that the center managers have noticed that many midday practitioners are active people wanting to relax by playing sports during their lunch break, and in the evening, they have the feeling that it is a question of a lot of people. having a home more or less close to the center.

To conclude this sub-section, we tend to think that players in private centers are looking for services that the voluntary sector could not offer. there is also the club house, the ambiance effect that we may not find in the clubs ”[1]. But each practitioner has his desires, his needs and his expectations, and each practitioner is not necessarily sensitive to additional services.
