Sport Clubs are organizations that give students the opportunity to play
their favorite sport at a competitive level. The main differences between a
Division I (NCAA) program and a sport club team is the level of funding, there
is no formal recruiting and we do not have full time coaches. As a sport club,
the team receives a limited annual budget from student fee allocations and
generates most of their operating budget from dues and fundraising activities.
Participating on a sport club team is a good way to keep that competitive edge
and have fun at the same time.
The women's volleyball team is a very competitive team. The club has their
organizational meeting in the first week of September and starts practice early
in the Fall semester. They practice 3-4 times a week in the evenings.
Everyone is invited to tryout for the team and two teams of 10 girls a piece are formed. The club plays against teams from
the University of Colorado, University of Arizona, Iowa State University and
other teams in the region. They also play in Tournaments in Nevada, Arizona,
Kansas, Utah, and Texas. The team won the 2003 Regional Championship which took
place in Las Vegas. The women’s team has played in the National Club
Volleyball Tournament, which takes place in April, the past several years.
Last year, the national tournament was held in Louisville, KY.
