Club Sports
The UNLV Club Sports Program provides students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to participate, educate, and compete in athletic activities as a means to enhance their collegiate experience and provide a vehicle for a well-rounded education through physical, social, and leadership development. However, while a club may not be NCAA affiliated many travel and compete for regionally & nationally against other universities and colleges, as well as contend for their own respective national championships
The Club Sports Program provides participants with the opportunity to:
- Develop a feeling of belonging and understanding among individuals and groups;
- Develop and maintain physical fitness;
- Practice and refine existing sports skills;
- Learn new sports skills;
- Develop leadership skills and capabilities;
- Develop organization and administrative skills including program planning, delegation of responsibility and authority, group dynamics, fundraising, financial management and public relations; and
- Engage in structured intercollegiate competition
A sport club is a student-initiated and student-managed organization whose members are actively involved in determining the objectives and procedures of their club within the guidelines established by UNLV.
A full list of the currently active clubs is available on the Club Sports blog at http://unlv.recsportal.net, as well as through the Student Involvement and Activities website, http://getinvolved.unlv.edu.
In order to form a sport club, interested students must first apply to be a registered organization with the UNLV Division of Student Affairs Student Involvement and Activates Office and then seek to gain CSUN recognition. Once formally established as a sport club, the club can travel to compete and host events on campus.
