Sports Clubs

The Sport Club program promotes student participation in a variety of physical and athletic activities. The program allows students to engage in activities of their choice at various skill levels, with an emphasis on leadership and student development. The success of the Sport Club program is dependent upon student interest and involvement.

Sport Clubs are overseen by the Sport Programs Administrative Staff within the Department of Campus Recreation.

To join a club or learn more about them, please refer to the contact information found on the club directory or contact  sportclubs@fau.edu  with general questions.

Sports Club FAQs

The Sport Club Council (SCC) is a student organization that works in conjunction with Campus Recreation's Sport Programs Administrative Staff to administer the Sport Clubs Program. The SCC is advised by the Sport Programs Administrative Staff, with support from the Advisor of the Council of Student Organizations, and governed by an Executive Board who preside over all meetings. Each Sport Club at FAU is a Registered Student Organization (RSO) with the Office of Student Activities & Involvement. For more information on the Sport Club Council, please visit the Sport Clubs homepage.

No. Our clubs strive to cater to all levels of participation and skill. Some clubs may have competitive travel squads in addition to members that simply wish to practice.

No, the University does not require a medical exam or physical for participation in sport clubs. However, a participation waiver must be completed and approved by the Sport Programs Administrative Staff in order for any individual to participate in club activities. Campus Recreation suggests that a physical be taken before participating in any club’s physical activity. It is the responsibility of each participant to ascertain whether they are sufficiently physically fit to participate.

No! While some clubs are more competitive and may host tryouts for the travel squad that competes at different contests, they may not cut interested students from their club.

Member dues vary from club to club. The Sport Programs Administrative Staff does not set the individual club dues so the easiest way to find out specific information concerning club’s dues is to contact the club’s president directly. To find out a club’s contact information, visit our club directory.

The first step in the new student organization formation process is to complete and submit a Statement of Intent to Organize form with the Office of Student Activities & Involvement. Once this form is approved, your new organization is classified as an "Interest Group." At that point, you will be given instructions on the remainder of the formation process. You have SIX weeks to advertise and hold meetings to recruit members.

For vehicle rentals, Sport Clubs has an agreement with AVIS, which offers affordable rates.

Clubs may have committees to allow more members to be involved in club governance and normal operations. Such committees may assist the club in recruiting new members, special events, alumni relations, etc.

All important messages and reminders are sent out to the club’s officers through sportclubs@fau.edu. All club officers’ email should be kept up-to-date with the Sport Programs Administrative Staff. Email is the easiest way to get in contact with the Sport Programs Administrative Staff to discuss any issues. General emails should be sent sportclubs@fau.edu.

Due to limited space, the Sport Clubs pages contain only the basic contact information for the club. If your club would like a more elaborate webpage, it needs to be maintained by the club. Websites should follow University guidelines and be in good taste. Sport Clubs sites may not be directly linked to commercial vendors.

Funndraising is a great way for clubs to raise money, and can help inform the community about your organization and its purpose. All Sport Clubs who plan to host a fundraising event MUST submit an Event Request. For general fundraising guidelines and fundraising ideas, refer to the RSO Manual found in the Campus Links section on Owl Central.
