Competitive Sports Clubs

Competitive Club Sports are student-run, non-varsity athletic teams that participate in organized competitions against other colleges and universities. They are more competitive than intramural sports, with a higher level of play and a greater time commitment. Club sports often involve tryouts, structured practices, travel to away games, and participation in leagues or tournaments.
