Campus Recreation

Club Sports Home

The Club Sports Program promotes participation in a wide variety of activities, complementing the University’s Intramural Sports Program and Outdoor Recreation Program. Club Sports are designed to help students develop leadership, financial, and organizational management skills through the opportunity to create, organize, and run their own club. The Department of Campus Recreation provides advisement and administrative assistance to clubs, but emphasis is placed on student leadership and involvement, with the success of each club dependent on the dedication and commitment of its student leaders and members.
