Club Sports General Information
The Office of Intramural and Club Sports is proud to offer ten club teams/organizations which can be joined by all current students. A number of club teams compete in various leagues and take part in competitions in the tri-state area, while others are purely recreational. Club sports are similar to varsity sports in that they often hold structured practices, maintain consistent rosters, and compete on a regular basis; however, club teams are primarily student run and do not require the time commitment of most varsity teams. Club teams/organizations are designed to provide fun and engaging opportunities for students to become athletically involved in the W&J campus community.
Joining a Club Team/Organization
Anyone interested in joining a club team/organization may contact Assistant Director of Intramural and Club Sports, Chris Faulk, at cfaulk@washjeff.edu or visit the Office of Intramural and Club Sports located in Henry Gym 333.
To register a club team or organization, see the Club & Intramural Sports Registration page.
