Club Sports

Please complete this form if you are interested in joining one of our current Club Sport Teams: https://utdallas.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2fyaBNEpp0kkgQe An officer should reach out to you in the next few days with more information about their club and how you can join. 

• Club Sport teams are not associated with athletics here at UT Dallas. Club Sports are overseen by the UREC Competitive Sports Office.
• The overall purpose of the Club Sport teams within the UREC CompSports program is to add to the UTD student experience by providing safe and competitive sport activities in a professional manner while achieving our three objectives. Those objectives for UREC sponsored Club Sports are:
  • To provide scheduled opportunity for students to learn a new sport/activity in an inclusive, fun environment; 
  • To provide a competitive extramural opportunity for students to compete in a sport/activity against other university/college club teams; 
  • To provide Club Officers with the opportunity to apply academic skills/knowledge acquired in the classroom to the management of their team/sport in an experiential education format. 

• If you are looking to participate in one specific sport, dedicate practice time to that sport,
•  invest time and money into the sport and compete against other universities in that sport, then Club Sports is for you.
• If you are looking for something that is more short term, relaxed, and more just for fun,
•  with the opportunity to play multiple sports than Intramural Sports is the option.

• Start your own club!
• Your first step to starting any new student organization and/or club is to get the group
•  registered with the UTD Student Org Center (SOC) as a registered student organization.
• Once your student group is registered and you complete their orientation training, then the SOC staff will be able to help guide you in requesting facility space around the UTD Campus and connect you with our UREC Facility & Operations staff to potentially schedule your group on our facility schedule. From there your group, and advisor, can contact our office to review and begin the UREC Prospective Club Sport process to become an official UTD Club Sport sponsored by the UREC Department. Be aware that our prospective club process will take 2 year or more to complete, that includes a three-phase plan, transfers in club leadership, and organizational benchmarks, all while maintaining good organizational status with the SOC office and university partners.

That is up to each and every club. Each club has their own guidelines and requirements for its members in order to be apart of the club.

That varies by club. Most clubs collect semesterly/yearly membership dues to be a part of the club. Since these are student lead and run organizations, it is up to the clubs to get raise the funds they need in order to run their club, many times these funds are used to help compete, buy uniforms, purchase equipment, and other needs of the club. Reaching out to the officers of each club that you are interested in can help you to determine which club fits your budget.
