What is a Sports Club?
Sports Clubs provide an alternative to University Sports and intramurals. Basically, find a group of people who love the same sport that you do and play! You can be as competitive or as non-competitive as YOU choose. Everything is student-run, so it's really all up to you!
How do I contact a Sports Club to get more information?
If you are interested in joining any clubs, please contact dominguezm@sonoma.edu or sports.clubs@sonoma.edu
What are the main differences between Sport Clubs and Athletics?
Sport Clubs are student-run organizations. They practice and compete against college club teams locally, regionally, and nationally. SSU has 15 Sport Club teams. Sonoma State Athletics is an NCAA Division II member and part of the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA). SSU has 11 sponsored sports in the CCAA.
What are the benefits for being a Sport Club?
The benefits for being in a Sports Club are that the Club gets to reserve a space on campus, they are allowed to apply for funding through the Associated Students, and they get to compete under the Sonoma State University name.
Sport club participants not only enjoy the rewards of athletic competition, but they also gain skills in collaboration, leadership, problem-solving, and financial management. Sport Clubs run like an NCAA team and are much more involved than Intramural Sports.
Are there tryouts for Sport Clubs?
Some Sports Clubs do require tryouts. For more competitive sports there are usually tryouts because there are only a certain number of players allowed on the court/field. For sports without maximum number requirements there usually aren't tryouts. Contact dominguezm@sonoma.edu or sports.clubs@sonoma.edu.
How do I join a Sports Club?
To join a Sports Club, contact the President from the club of interest. You can get this information by visiting SonomaSync. Once you have confirmed with the club officers that you can sign up, please complete the registration for the club. If you’d like more information about one of the Sport Club teams, please contact dominguezm@sonoma.edu or sports.clubs@sonoma.edu.
