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 I’ll have enough money saved. Then I’m gonna go back to my hometown in Oregon and I’m gonna build a house for my mother and myself. And join the country club and take up golf. And I’ll meet the proper man with the proper position. And I’ll make a proper wife who can run a proper home and raise proper children. And I’ll be happy, because when you’re proper, you’re 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 (1564–1616)
