Club Sports
Open to full-time undergraduate and fifth-year graduate students, club sports provide a competitive experience that falls between NCAA sports and intramurals.
Each team has a coach and a student-led executive board that is elected each year and works with the coach to organize practices, schedule games, order equipment and uniforms, and manage the team’s operations.
Teams practice regularly and either compete against other colleges and universities, participate in a league or arrange friendly scrimmages. The time commitment depends on the sport.
Club sports are funded by the players, and dues vary depending on the sport's needs. Tryouts are held at the start of each season. Due to limited roster spots, not everyone who tries out may be able to join.
