Club Sports
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.
Fall 2020 Update: Although this semester will look a little different, Clubs are still recruiting new members and some will still be practicing. If you are interested in joining a club, email the Club contact for their modified practice plans. Also, check out the entire Club Directory and find contact information for the Club and how to join!
Who can join a club sport?
While there may be league or conference restrictions on who may participate, the following individuals are eligible to join:
- Currently enrolled UMD undergraduate students
- Currently enrolled UMD graduate students
- Currently employed UMD faculty and staff
- Current members of the Maryland Alumni Association (no more than 10% of the Club roster may be Alumni)
University Affiliates and Shady Grove students are not eligible to join a club sport team. Competitive eligibility is based on each team's governing body regulations.
Clubs do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, marital status, personal appearance, age, national origin, political affiliation or physical or mental disability.
How do I join a club?
If you are interested in joining a sport club , the first step is to email the appropriate club contact for additional information. You might consider asking them about club culture, team organization, and social opportunities, as well as details like practice times, locations, and fees. In addition, most clubs have websites and/or social media sites which are accessible through the club directory.

Participants are able to join a team during online at any point this semester starting the first day of classes. For information on practices times and locations contact the Club Sports Office at 301-226-5500 or clubsports@umd.edu.

The Maryland Club Sports Program stands with our Black students and community. Across the country, Americans are protesting against the police brutality, systemic racism, and other oppressions that the Black community has suffered from for centuries. As we reflect on the tragic deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Sean Reed, Richard Collins III and countless others, we must acknowledge the unacceptable level of violence and injustice Black Americans face, as well as the overarching institutional racism and systemic oppression of minority groups that pervade our society.
-
We believe that it is important that the Black community, which includes our Supervisors, Staff, and Participants, should not have to fight that fight alone.
Club Sports is strongly against all forms of bigotry, including racism, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism, and we have a zero-tolerance policy for bigotry- whether it occurs at our facilities or not.
-
We stand with our Black community and mourn the deaths of Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Sean Reed, Richard Collins III and the countless others whose names we may never know. Together we can end the oppression that minorities face and create an environment that is safe, comfortable, and inclusive for everyone
-
We recognize that simply posting our words of support is not enough. To aid in Black American's fight for justice, please consider donating to social justice organizations, calling or emailing government officials, donating food or supplies to protestors, and signing petitions. Additionally, take the time to educate yourself about systemic racism and speak out against bigotry in your personal circles.
-
Together we can end the oppression that minorities face and create an environment that is safe and comfortable for all Maryland students.
