Roanoke College

The majority of our club sports do not have a coaching staff because they are student lead. The sports that do provide a coach are there to help with running practices, and utilized for safety practices such as Rugby, Riding Team, Ice Hockey, and Archery. However, all administration items should be handled through the student leadership team of that specific club sport. 

Club sports will have a practice schedule that is encouraged by the students to attend and participate.  Each club sport has a different attendance policy to compete in competitions. Club sports will then compete in local tournaments, local adult leagues, or other universities if possible. Club sports are open to any Roanoke College student, and the level of competitiveness will depend on competition participation. Club sport participants are limited to the number of players on the playing surface at one time based on the sport that they play.  

Intramurals are Roanoke College students playing other Roanoke College students. Teams are formed on campus, and varsity level athletes are not allowed to compete in the sport that they play on campus. Intramurals are fun, and open to all. Any student is encouraged to make a team or join as a free agent.

If you are interested in forming a club sport, please reach out to the Associate Director of Athletics of Campus Recreation. We are looking for a student population that would help support the club sport and be active members. A leadership team needs to be created and is the initial step of forming a club sport. The leadership team will work with the Campus Recreation department to create practice and game schedules, recruit members, manage a budget, and take care of any other pertinent details for the club.
