What is a Sport Club?

• A Sport Club is a recognized student organization formed by individuals with a common interest in a sport. A Sport Club's primary goal is to promote and develop interest in that particular sport. Clubs may be instructional, recreational, competitive or may be involved in any combination of these elements.
• Regardless of the type of club an individual may choose to join, she/he should appreciate and enjoy the recreational and social benefits to be derived from participation.
• The success and strength of the Sport Clubs Program depends largely upon the quality of student leadership and the degree of involvement of club members. Students assume an active role in the organization and administration of their club. Members have the collective responsibilities of writing their club constitution and by-laws, planning and promoting club activities and events, as well as, raising and managing funds to support the club.

Who is eligible to participate?

• Sport Club participation is open to currently enrolled undergraduate and graduate full-time students and faculty/staff. Individual club constitutions and association rules may also determine membership guidelines, however no person shall be excluded on the basis of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, or sexual orientation.
• Participants in Sport Clubs are required to have accidental/medical insurance that will cover them in the event of injury or illness. Each club member must sign a Release and Indemnity Agreement form, have a physical examination performed by a doctor, and have both forms on file at the Sport Clubs office before she/he is recognized as a member of a Sport Club.
