Welcome to Lamar University's Club Sports Program

The Club sports Program is designed to meet the individual interests and needs of students by fostering participation, skill mastering and competition in various sports and activities. The Club Sports Program is administered through the Department of Recreational Sports which serves as an information center, administrative supervisor, and resource for those involved. This supervision helps insure an effective program in all phases of operation and student development.

Club Sports are developed primarily to provide an opportunity for extramural-collegiate competition or activities above the level of intramurals but not under the auspices of the athletic department.

Club Sports are responsible for their own finances and expenses. Financial expenses are generally met through dues, fund raising, and other activities. Organizations may request monies from the Recreational Sports office to help defray expenses. 

Clubs are responsible for the writing and implementation of a working constitution, recruiting new members, establishing dues, planning and publicizing and promoting the club, etc. The emphasis is on student leadership; the most successful clubs are the ones with outstanding student leaders. The Recreational Sports Department provides encouragement and guidance but in the final analysis the club survives and thrives only by means of active student involvement and participation.

The Club Sports Handbook has been designed to serve as a guide and source of policy to club officers and advisors in the conduct of the Sports Clubs Program. It contains specific policies and procedures to be followed by all Club Sports in their operations.

Mission of LU Club Sports Program 

The Club Sports Program at Lamar University provides an opportunity for students to shape their own recreational experience through competitive/instructional sports teams.  This program will enhance the collegiate experience by developing skills and knowledge of a particular sport, building character and leadership for future pursuits, and by discovering lasting friendships and a lifetime appreciation for physical activity.
