Club Sports
Club Sports provides students with the opportunity to participate in competitions against other intercollegiate teams. Club sport teams are student run organizations that practice regularly, travel to compete and employ coaches to run practices and manage game rosters. Teams also organize fundraisers, participate in community service projects, and support their fellow club sport athletes.
