Club Sports

Club Sports are student-run organizations that are advised by the Office of Campus Recreation. Each Club has a Student Leadership group that plans and executes Club activities for members. With flexible levels of dedication and being balanced with class schedules, Club Sports allows students to play the sports they love while pursuing excellence in their academics.

Competitive sports

These sports are designed to practice and play with the intention of bringing home the win! Competitive Club Sports are driven to work hard so they can play hard, with opportunities to travel across the state of Virginia to compete against other institutions in games and tournaments. These Club Sports also offer the opportunity to become student leaders and take on responsibilities in organizing and crafting their own Club Sports experience.
