Sport Clubs

The Texas A&M Sport Clubs Association presents a unique opportunity for students to develop both athletic and leadership abilities. It affords the opportunity to be competitive against clubs from other collegiate institutions at the state, regional or national level in 39 sport clubs. Most provide opportunities to learn or enhance skills in a recreational setting. Each club is responsible for all aspects of operating and managing their organization. The Department assists with advising, facilities, event planning, and finances, while providing some monetary support. Clubs can subsidize the cost of their club activities, by charging dues.

All Sport Clubs are recognized student organizations. As such, they are afforded rights and responsibilities.  For more information about how recent legislation affects these rights and responsibilities, visit studentaffairs.tamu.edu/rso-rights/.

The Department of Recreational Sports acknowledges other sport-related clubs might wish to seek recognition in the Sport Clubs Association.  Due to the limited resources available to the Sport Clubs   Association, it may not be feasible to add new clubs.
