Community & Leadership Through Sports
Club sports are student organizations, recognized by the Student Government Association (SGA). The Club Sports staff of University Recreation & Wellness (RecWell), oversees and advises all club sports.
Clubs offer opportunities for developing friendships, building leadership skills, learning a new sport, improving existing sport skills, and practicing. Many clubs compete at various levels against other universities, both on a regional and national level.
Check out the club directory for our list of clubs! You will also find contact information for the club and how to join!
