WHAT'S A SPORT CÃÛÌÒAPPB?
A Sport Club is a registered student organization assisted by the Recreational Sports Department, formed by students motivated by a common interest and desire to participate in a specific sport. The club exists to promote and develop skills, engage in competition, encourage peer leadership, and enjoy the recreational and social fellowship of a specific sport. Generally, clubs are open to all individuals interested in a sport from novice to extremely skilled. Sport Clubs require more commitment than Intramurals. However, they do not require the commitment of competing on a college varsity team.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPORT CÃÛÌÒAPPBS AND INTRAMURALS?
This is the most popular question at our first-year student orientation sessions. Intramural Sports are short-term, recreational activities that take place at ÃÛÌÒAPP and only involve participants from ÃÛÌÒAPP and LIT. Sport Clubs are university-recognized student organizations that are student-run and self-funded. Typically, these are year-round clubs that compete in intercollegiate competitions on a local, regional, and national scale.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SPORT CÃÛÌÒAPPBS AND THE VARSITY ATHLETIC PROGRAM?
Sport Clubs are student-run organizations. All club business and operations are handled by the Sport Club officers and participants. Sport Club teams are competitive and are primarily self-funded by club fundraisers and membership dues. Clubs compete against other university club teams throughout the academic year. Varsity athletic sports are housed in the Athletic Department and compete in NCAA competition while receiving state funds.
