Find a team with UREC's Sport Clubs
Sport Clubs are a great way to get involved at JMU – and there are over 50 clubs to choose from!
Sport Clubs are led by students and often compete with sport clubs from other universities. Clubs often have dedicated practice times, seasons and dues. Join the over 2,300 JMU students who participate in Sport Clubs annually for a unique campus experience emphasizing recreation, competition and leadership!
How do I join?
Each club has different procedures for becoming a member of the club. Some have tryouts, whereas others have open practices throughout the year.
Therefore, the best way to get involved with the club(s) you are interested in is to contact the club directly to get more information on when their club practices and meets. Another way to get involved is by visiting the different club booths that are set up during Student Organization Night, which takes place at the beginning of each semester. All club contact information can be found in the Sport Club Directory.
What is the commitment level?
The commitment level varies depending on the club and their level of competition. Many clubs compete on the state, regional and national level, while others rarely compete. For more information please contact the club directly.
