FAQ's


 

A Sport Club is a group of students, faculty, and/or staff at Western Kentucky University organized for the purpose of furthering their common interests in a sport and/or recreational activity through participation and competition. Clubs may be competitive, recreational, and/or instructional in nature. Sport Clubs are meant to be a learning experience for the members through their involvement in fundraising, public relations, organization, administration, budgeting, and scheduling, as well as through the development of skills in their particular sport.

Sport Clubs are student organized and student led. Participants cannot be excluded because of skill level. However, playing time in game situations for individual players is left to the decision making of each club’s leadership.

Sport club participants are committed to refining their abilities and actively participating in a specific sport, like rugby or soccer. They frequently face off against teams and organizations from other colleges and universities beyond the confines of Western Kentucky University.

Sport Club participants concentrate on improving their skills and competing/participating in one sport such as rugby or soccer. They also primarily compete against teams/organizations from institutions outside of Western Kentucky University.
