Campus Recreation Sport Clubs Program recognizes the value of physical activity as a vehicle for creating lifelong leadership skills, citizenship and social development foundations for University of Alberta students.

Campus Recreation Sport Clubs Program focuses on the vision to have well organized clubs which provide physical activities for the University of Alberta student with the purpose of enhancing quality of life.
 

Administratively, the mission of the Sport Clubs Program is to provide a sustainable group structure by providing a framework for transparent, fiscally responsible, student led activities; engaging and assisting groups in selecting safe and appropriate environments for physical activity; fostering an atmosphere of leadership development through peer education; and developing groups to act as ambassadors of the University of Alberta.

Participatory, the mission of the Sport Clubs Program, is to provide a sustainable group structure by providing diverse opportunities to learn and lead though physical activities and to foster personal and social growth through extracurricular group activities.
 

Purpose of the Sport Clubs Program

 As an integral component of the Campus Recreation program and the Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation (FPER), the Sport Clubs Program strives to meet the recreational and competitive needs of the University of Alberta student community in a wide variety of sport and recreation activities. Student interest and dedication will lead to the development of sport clubs that will further students’ extra-curricular and leadership experiences at the University of Alberta (UA).
 

 The program focuses on students as the primary target audience. This program model emphasizes student leadership and development by providing parameters under which UA student club leaders and UA student members make choices regarding the operation of the club. As a recognized program of Campus Recreation the delivery model provides the financial framework, procedural oversight and policy guidelines to follow Unit, Faculty and University requirements. Campus Recreation seeks to provide student’s valuable leadership experiences and create a sustainable student sport clubs structure from year to year.
 

 The number and type of Sport Clubs will be directly related to student interest.  Any type of sport and recreation pursuit that is consistent with the mission of the FPER and is not a duplication of services is inclusive to all students and can show adequate student interest is eligible to apply for membership.

 A group of students with a common interest in a sport that is not currently represented in the FPER should explore the possibility of being recognized by the Campus Recreation Sport Clubs program. 

Recreational based clubs will consist of a minimum of 75% currently enrolled UA students paying the Athletic/Recreation fee (Student Members). The remaining 25% will consist of Associate Members (staff, alumni and community). The Associate Members will be non-voting, cannot hold an executive position and may not be eligible for some competitive situations. Membership fees will be differentiated based on the type of member.
 

Competitive based clubs will consist of currently enrolled UA students paying the Athletic/Recreation fee. The coaching of a Competitive Sport Club may be led by a UA staff, alumni and/or community member.  A Competitive Sport Club either uses a student leadership model or will have a management team that includes a minimum representation of three (3) students selected by the UA student participants. Membership fees will be the same for all student members.
 

Membership fees apply for each club, and vary according to the club.

There may also be additional costs related to equipment, travel costs, etc. Please contact the club for details.
