Club Sports Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Club Sports competitive? Some clubs are competitive, and play other schools. As a member, you can still participate in the practices without competing. Other clubs act as support for the intercollegiate teams. Who can join a Club Sport? Rutgers-Camden Club Sports are open to all students, faculty, staff, and active alumni. Some clubs may compete in student-only leagues, but that doesn’t exclude non-students from joining in club practices and events. How much knowledge and/or experience do I need to have to join a Club? You don’t need any previous knowledge or experience to join the clubs. Club Sports are a great opportunity to learn something new and try out something different. How do I join a Club? To join a club, you just need to contact a club officer, and they’ll have you fill out the paperwork. You can get the contact information for club officers by calling our office at 856-225-61972 or by clicking on our active club link. Can I join anytime? Yes, you can sign up anytime- but the earlier in the semester you join, the more you’ll learn. Some clubs also meet only during a part of the school year, depending on the seasons. How much does it cost? Membership dues vary from club to club. Clubs with higher operating costs have higher dues. Do the Clubs have instructors or coaches? Some clubs have an instructor or coach which instruct the members, while other clubs are instructed by higher level club members with experience. What is the time commitment? Practice times vary by club. Most practices are 2–3 times a week, about an hour and a half to two hours per practice. Most clubs are flexible with the number of practices a member attends. Is there any traveling involved? Competitive clubs will travel to other schools for tournaments, games, and other competitions.
