Sport Clubs provide opportunities for students to experience the commitment, challenge and enjoyment of a competitive extramural sports experience. These teams are initiated by students and reflective of their diverse sporting interests. The Sport Clubs program within UC San Diego Recreation operates within the jurisdiction of the national or regional associations that have been established for each individual sport as well as policies and procedures established by the department and University. Team are only partially funded by the Sports Clubs program, and their success relies heavily on their own resources, fundraising, and donations.
