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/.

Celebrating Over 50 Years of Sport Clubs

The Sport Clubs program began on campus in 1974 with a handful of clubs with students dedicated to progressing their sport while competing and representing Texas A&M in various competitions around the state, region, and national level. Over the past 50 years, the Sport Clubs program has developed into one of the premier and comprehensive programs in the country, now bolstering 39 club teams with over 1500 active student-athletes. As a program, the clubs have captured over 400 National Championships.

With this being the 50th anniversary of Sport Clubs on campus at Texas A&M, we are excited to introduce our $50 for 50 fundraising campaign. This campaign will be to raise funds in order to create and develop a Sport Clubs Officer leadership scholarship. Rewarding individual officers who have positively contributed to the enhancement of their own sport club while being a leader within the entire Sport Clubs program.
