Since the initial inclusion of the Rugby team in 1967, Sports Clubs at UCSC have
been a focal point of student activites. The teams are traditionally student driven
and serve as a crucial competitive outlet. The basic philosophy of the Sports
Club Program is two fold. First and foremost, it is to provide a healthy and supportive
atmosphere that celebrates sports as culture. Secondly, it is to be as competitive
as possible while keeping within the parameters of sportsmanship and goodwill.
There is no true uniformity between Sports Club teams. Some compete against other
schools in set leagues while others have a more casual approach. Some compete
against other Division III schools while others compete against the big schools
in Division I. The single unifying aspect of all Sports Club Teams is their passion
for sports.
All Sports Club participants are expected to be fit and able to practice and compete withour hinderance. Some sports require a physical in order to participate. All participants are required to fill out a Medical History Update form. Due to the low level of funding for Sports Club Teams, you may be expected to pay for team fees, uniforms and other costs associated with participating on a team. INSURANCE: All undergraduates and graduate students at UCSC have insurance. However, that coverage may not be enough to cover the costs associated with even low level injuries. All participants are strongly encouraged to have additional insurance prior to participating in Sports Club practices and agames. Please review your coverage to make sure it is sufficient. For more information, contact Kevin Givens at 459-4220 or email at kdgivens@cats.ucsc.edu. The Sports Club Office is in the Intramural Sports Office at the East Fieldhouse, upstairs next to the main pool. The biggest change is the creation of a Tiered Club System. Teams that compete in a sanctioned league w/ extensive travel, have the opportunity to compete for a national champion, have a history at UCSC are Tier I teams. Teams that do not meet that criteria are a Tier II team. Teams that are border line Recreational are Tier III teams.
