Caltech Club Sports

SPORT CLUBS are comprised of students who have a common interest in a specific sport and compete against other regional teams or provide skill instruction. Participation requires strong personal commitment since the membership has the responsibility for club leadership, decision-making, and fundraising. The Recreation staff provides professional guidance, assistance with facility scheduling, and an administrative framework including limited funding support. Participation creates a strong sense of camaraderie and clubs always welcome new members of all skill levels. Club participation is open to all members of Caltech and the Recreation Program.
