What Are Club Sports?
Club Sports bridge the gap between intramural sports and varsity athletics by providing student-athletes the opportunity to practice as a team and compete at various levels. The Club Sports Program emphasizes student leadership as the club teams are organized, managed and operated exclusively by UConn students.
What is the Club Sports Council?
The Club Sports Council is student-led and serves as the governing body for the Club Sports Program. The Council works to ensure the proper support and success of its member clubs and their students. Additionally, the Council works closely with the University to enhance the growth and development of its athletes.
Check out the Team Directory Link for all the available teams and contact information.
