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.
Check out the club directory for our list of clubs! You will also find contact information for the club and how to join!
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

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.
