Club Sports
The university has a diverse number of intercollegiate club sports teams. Notable teams include men's baseball, the rugby football club, the rowing team, the Waterski Team (2008 DII National Champions), the lacrosse team, the men's soccer team, the men's ice hockey team which competes in the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) DII, and the Tennis Club which competes in the USTA Tennis on Campus and the Great Lakes Tennis Conference.
Club sports at UC operate in a tier system. The top tier (tier 5, or Semi-Varsity) teams as of 2011 include the equestrian team, men's hockey and the men's and women's rowing programs.
These clubs operate at a level comparable to a varsity team, and are granted special status to reflect the time and commitment these students dedicate to their club.

Famous quotes containing the words club and/or sports:
“In another year Ill have enough money saved. Then Im gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and Im gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And Ill meet the proper man with the proper position. And Ill make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And Ill be happy, because when youre proper, youre safe.”
—Daniel Taradash (b. 1913)
“There be some sports are painful, and their labor
Delight in them sets off. Some kinds of baseness
Are nobly undergone, and most poor matters
Point to rich ends.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
