Sport Clubs
Engage your competitive spirit with UHCL Sport Clubs!
UHCL Sport Clubs are registered UHCL student organizations who participate in a sport or activity at a higher level than intramural sports. Typically, clubs participate in competitive games and activities with other collegiate sport clubs.
Sport Clubs are student-run with guidance from Campus Recreation, which emphasizes student leadership and involvement. A student organization wishing to become a sport club must be registered as a UHCL student organization for at least one semester and be accepted as a sport club by Campus Recreation.
Join a Sport Club
Membership is open to RWC Community Members, Alumni, and enrolled UHCL students with at least three credit hours regardless of skill level, as long as the student meets the requirements of the club, pays dues, and is in good standing. A club may conduct tryouts in order to match a current/potential member’s skill level to a team.
A club may extend a limited membership to a non-student who is a current Recreation and Wellness Center member.
Current UHCL Sport Clubs
Contact the sport club officers or club directly to express your interest, or fill out the Sport Club Interest Form and the department will send your information to the sport club officers.
Start a new Sport Club
If there is not a current sport club for a sport or activity you are interested in, consider starting a Registered Student Organization (RSO) for that sport which could lead to becoming a sport club!
The following procedures are in place to assist with the creation of new clubs and the expansion of our sport club program. Our hope to create a wide range of sports or activities that promote a healthier and happier UHCL campus.
Not all clubs have to be competitive in nature – we also support clubs geared toward instruction and recreation.
