Club Sports

Club Sports are student organizations established to promote and develop individual interest in various sports and recreational activities.

Student Experience

At Assumption,  Club Sports are student organizations. That means students are involved of all aspects of coordinating competitions and practices. Club Sports promote and develop an individual's interest in various sports and recreational activities and may be instructional, recreational, or competitive in nature. Each Club Sport is developed, governed and managed by its student membership in collaboration with the Campus Recreation administrative staff.  The key to the success of this program, and each club, is your leadership, interest, involvement and participation. Our Club Sports promote leadership development, responsibility, decision making, public relations, organization and fiscal management, as well as specific sport-related skills.

Students are responsible for the internal organization and conduct of their Club activities. Therefore, the success and strength of the Club Sports program depends upon your initiative, motivation, and leadership. The management and organization of a Club Sport is an educational experience providing many opportunities for your growth as a person and professional. Each Club Sport drafts their constitution and by-laws; conducts meetings; establishes dues to offset expenditures; plans fundraising projects; coordinates practices, competition and special events; publicize events; and collaborate with other members to develop a successful program. No club may restrict its membership on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation or disability.  All clubs are non-cut, although levels of participation in a club may be determined through tryouts (ie. competitive vs. general member)

Participation is co-ed, men, or women. There are three levels of Club Sports:

  1. Recreational: Scheduled practice time for program instruction. Group activity is for fun and relaxation.
  2. Instructional: Scheduled practice time and program instruction as student interest warrants. Tournament opportunities could be available, though not necessarily required.  Skill level can range from beginner to advance.
  3. Competitive: Scheduled competitive meets with other Club Sports or sub-varsity programs with any institution, requires coach(s), establishes a regular practice schedule, and develops on-going fundraising activities through outside sources. Enhanced level of skill development, fundraising and administration.
