About Sport Clubs


A 'Sport Club' is a campus group that provides recreation, competition, and/or instruction in sport-related activities. Sport Clubs are an integral part of the Department of Recreation Services, designed to supplement intercollegiate, intramural, and student/faculty recreation programs, as well as physical education classes. There are more than 45 sport clubs, all run primarily on student initiative and leadership.

Every year there is an annual Sport Club Activity Fair held on campus. This year the Sport Club Activity Fair will be held on Wednesday September 9th in the Goldstein Auditorium of the Schine Student Center, from 6:00pm - 8:00pm.

This event allows interested students the opportunity to meet club representatives and find out specific information about each club. Also, interested students are asked to leave a name and phone number in the respective club mailbox at the Recreation Services Office. The club representative will contact prospective members with club information. In addition, the Sport Club Directory lists representatives, phone numbers, practice times and locations. It is available to students in mid-September.
