RUTGERS,STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEWJERSEY


Recreation Sport Clubs, and on aSport Clubs webpage:

Long before varsity athletics provided an outlet foryouthful energies, the men of Rutgers, like so manyof their counterparts at the other colonial colleges,

were privately challenging students from otherschools to meet them on the banks for a littlefriendly competition.

In fact, the Rutgers student body is credited withinitiating the first intercollegiate contest in football in1869 and later with starting collegiate ultimate frisbee

in 1973. Both of these efforts were student drivenand student supported with little, if any, assistancefrom the University .

Sports Clubs may be instructional and/orcompetitive in nature, with the competitive clubscompeting against other schools and leagues allaround the country.

Club Basicsfurther explain:

Clubs are student organized, student led andstudent funded . it is understood that all clubs

must accept the application of every student whoapplies regardless of their skill ability or experienceand that they all must strive to: .

Provide students with the opportunity to explore theintricacies of a sport in greater depth than is possiblein either the instructional class program or theintramural leagues .

Provide leadership development opportunities forclub members who wish to assume administrativeduties within the club structure.

Provide students with the opportunity to compete at

the collegiate level without making the samesacrifices of time and energy that are required toparticipate in a varsity sport.
