Congratulations on taking your first steps towards starting a new Sport Club! Please read through all items below, including a checklist to guide your club approval.
*All new clubs are marked as “conditional” their first year. This means that new clubs cannot officially compete until the conditional status has been removed.
**Clubs cannot receive ASG funding their first year but there might be some money available through the Campus Rec department to support. New clubs can apply for and potentially receive ASG funding starting the 3rd semester as an approved club.
Create a Sport Club Checklist:
Recruit
Recruit at least 10 people to join the club
Assign
