Eligibility - Club Sports

• Club members shall be eligible for intramural participation in the sport of their specialty; however, members

are restricted to allow only two such participants on a team’s Intramural Sports roster. In addition, you must
play in the highest skill level division offered in the sport that you’re a club member of. For example, if you
play Club Basketball, you must play in the Competitive A division and the CoRec A division for Intramural
Basketball. The following guidelines will apply to determining whether someone is a “Club Sport” member:

• If you dress out for any game (i.e. scrimmage, conference, non-conference), you will be considered a club

member for that sport. It doesn’t matter how much you play, it only matters if you dress out.
• The Club Sports Supervisor will make record of every person that dresses out. You will be expected to give your name to the

Supervisor when asked.

• Once you dress out and are considered a club player, you are considered a club player for the remainder of

that academic year. For example, if you dress out for a club soccer game in September, you will still be
considered a club soccer player in April during the Intramural 7v7 soccer season.
