Club Sports Frequently Asked Questions

How do I join a club?
You may write or call the club’s contact person or advisor, or the RecSports club sports staff. You may also learn more about the clubs and joining by attending Activities Night at the beginning of the academic year.

Can Saint Mary's or Holy Cross students be club members?
All clubs except men’s and women’s boxing, and men’s volleyball are open to St. Mary’s and Holy Cross students. They are encouraged to join.

When are travel rosters and driver’s forms due before a trip?
These forms must be submitted 48 hours before leaving campus. If a travel roster is submitted by the Tuesday before the trip, the club will not have to hand carry it to Student Affairs.

When should expense reports be turned in, and results reported?
Clubs are to e-mail the results to the assistant director by 11:00 am Monday following the competition. Expense reports should be submitted with receipts the Monday following the trip, but Tuesday is also acceptable if the club is having difficulty preparing them, such as collecting receipts from members. On rare occasions, Wednesday may be permissable if the club calls in advance with an explanation.

Are faculty and staff permitted to join a club?
They may join and participate in practices, but they may neither compete nor be club officers.

Is RecSports involved if a club works with Student Activities on a fund raiser?
Clubs must first submit all artwork for approval by RecSports before then submitting it to Student Activities, which will in turn seek approval from Licensing.
