鈥淲hat鈥檚 awesome about sports clubs is that the students are in charge of taking initiative,鈥� said Andrew Reddish, intramural sports and sports club advisor. 鈥淭hey are given a budget. They fundraise, organize and delegate positions, and are responsible for everything. They鈥檙e the ones who make it all happen.鈥�
More than just sports
Students who play club sports work as hard 鈥� in some cases harder 鈥� as other student athletes.
鈥淪tudents learn to be more responsible through club sports,鈥� Reddish said. 鈥淎lthough we provide guidance, a lot of the responsibility of the program falls on them. They coordinate travel plans, order uniforms, delegate roles within the team and more. This can really be a learning experience.鈥�
