How do I start a Club Sport?

The first step to starting a sport club is to find other students with a shared interest for the sport or activity. From there, student groups wishing to start a recognized Club Sport must complete a Club Sport application form and submit the required documents. If you are interested in starting a Club Sport, please email Kim Wallace for an application package. New Club Sport Applications are due by June 30th each year.
