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.
