INTRODUCTIONBinghamton University offers participation in a number of club sports for all students. Club sports are student organized and are sponsored and funded by the Student Association. However, they are administered through the Department of Campus Recreational Services, which reports to the Division of Student Affairs. There are two full time professional staff members, the Assistant Director of Campus Recreational Services and the Program Coordinator for Campus Recreational Services, to help oversee and assist club leaders with all aspects of managing club sports. This gives club sports a benefit that very few student organizations have to help them be successful. Club sports are arranged into two categories, recreational and competitive. Recreational clubs meet on an average of once a week and participate with other members of the club. Competitive clubs meet as often as two or three times a week to everyday of the week. In addition, they compete against other colleges in both leagues and tournaments. Some of the more competitive clubs have the possibility of post season play and regional and national championships. Most of these clubs have an instructor who assists in supervision, strategy and skill development.Travel to and from a tournament, contest, or event is by personal car, University vans, or rental vans. All travel schedules, budgets, fund raising, facility, purchasing and day-to-day operations are again run and approved through the Office of Intramurals and Club Sports. All participants are responsible for submitting a completed registration form before taking part in any or all of the club sports. Club sports are voluntary and participation is at a personal risk. Students are to follow the University handbook on expectations and conduct. Although club sports offer the opportunity to compete at the collegiate level in sports, they are neither affiliated financially with nor overseen by the Athletics Department. If you are interested in joining a Club Sport, please the Club Sport Office or the club president.

MEMBERSHIP:Club membership is open to all students, faculty and staff of Binghamton University. Each club then establishes its own requirements regarding fundraising, attendance and participation.
