Student-led sport clubs (club sports)

Club sports provide students with opportunities to participate in organized, student-led athletic activities that promote physical fitness, leadership, and community engagement. These clubs are designed and delivered by students, offering inclusive environments for a wide range of interests and skill levels. Participants can join existing clubs or apply to start a new one through the Club Sports Program. Involvement helps students develop teamwork, leadership, and organizational skills while building social connections. Applications to start a club are accepted annually, with review taking place in the spring and summer in preparation for the following academic year.
