How to Start a New Club
All clubs must be administered and recognized through the Office of Student Activities on campus. However, those that are primarily sport or movement based, use athletic facilities almost exclusively, and/or are typically sponsored by collegiate club programs at other institutions are good candidates to seek additional recognition in the Recreational Sports Sport Club Program.
To become a recognized Sport Club, do the following:
- Become a Recognized Student Organization: get recognition through the Student Activities office and maintain a recognized club for one full academic year before you may apply for Sport Club recognition.
- Download the Sport Club Handbook: download and review this document. If you are invited to interview for formal acceptance as a new Sport Club, you will want to be familiar with policies and procedures related to Sport Clubs.
- Meet with the Sport Club Director: Competitive clubs (those that compete against other schools as a primary activity) should meet with Mary Wallmark to discuss the recognition process. Clubs that have a more recreational basis (limited or no outside competition), should meet with Kendall Ross to talk about their options. Contact info for both can be found on the "About Us" page.
