A club sport is a student-run organization formed by individuals with a common interest in a competitive sport that is officially recognized by Campus Recreation, Athletics, and the Student Programs Office. Club Sports generally practice multiple times per week and travel to compete against other colleges and universities, but they are not part of the NCAA or ACC. Although many have coaches, the team officers and athletes are responsible for all aspects of team management including scheduling games and practices, managing finances, selecting coaches, and making travel plans.
Students must meet all of the following requirements to participate in Boston College Club Sports:
- Be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate or graduate student at Boston College and consequently be taking the minimum number of credits required by the University to be considered a full-time student
- Meet meet all eligibility requirements stated in the individual team鈥檚 constitution
- Meet all eligibility requirements set forth by the league that the team competes in
- Be a member of Boston College Campus Recreation. Undergraduate students automatically receive a membership with their tuition, but students in the Woods College of Advancing Studies and all Graduate Programs are required to pay for a membership in order to participate in any Club Sports.
Only recognized members may utilize club sport equipment, practice times, or participate in competition. Faculty/staff and Alumni are NOT permitted to participate in Club Sports.
*An up-to-date club roster must be kept on file in the Club Sports Office at all times.听
Each individual club is responsible for determining its membership requirements, but most clubs host tryouts prior to their competition season. To find more information please view the Club Sport Directory and contact the club officer to learn more about the sport you are interested in joining.
The time commitment required varies by club, but most teams practice 2-3 times a week for about two hours and compete once per weekend during their competition season.
Club Sports are supported by Campus Recreation and are eligible to receive funding that is allocated by the Club Sport Council Executive Board, however they must also fundraise and/or charge membership dues to pay for their operating costs. The specific amount varies greatly by sport though. Teams may also be supported financially through donations.
Most of the Club Sports at 情色空间 are highly competitive and strive to compete at a national level. As a result, most teams host tryouts and must make cuts to maintain their roster size. However, clubs such as Rugby and Ultimate Frisbee have both competitive and recreational sides and do not make cuts, always welcoming new participants to join and learn the game.听听
