What is a Sport Club?
A recognized student organization that is student led and initiated. Sport Clubs are made up of individuals that have a desire to compete or participate in a sport throughout their college career. The clubs may be recreational, instructional or competitive in nature. Sport Clubs are not NCAA athletic teams or intramurals.
Will I be able to get a scholarship?
Sport Clubs do not provide scholarships to their athletes.
Do they travel to other universities?
Many of the Sport Clubs do compete intercollegiately with other collegiate Sport Club teams. Travel for competitions is optional and the competitiveness of each club depends on the club's membership.
What is the cost involved?
Most clubs charge dues either on a yearly or a semester basis. For clubs requiring equipment to play, the individual is responsible for purchasing the necessary personal items.
What if I have never played before?
Most clubs do not require that you have any experience to join. The students or volunteer coaches will assist you in learning the sport.
Do I have to tryout?
Clubs that are recreational or instructional in nature do not have a tryout procedure. However, some clubs do have tryouts for the competitive or traveling group in the club but still have members interested in practicing and involved in the social aspects of the club.
What do I need to play?
Clubs usually require the individual to supply their own personal equipment. Items or supplies that can be used by everyone are typically purchased with the club's generated income. Students must complete a waiver and provide proof of medical insurance coverage.
How much time is involved?
Time is determined by your commitment and the level of competitiveness of each club. Student initiated and student led clubs determine by their own process how active they will be.
