Club Sports

A group of student leaders with the assistance of Eastern Washington University Department of Campus Recreation established the Club Sports Federation in 1999 in order to provide the campus community with sport specific clubs not currently offered by the University as an NCAA athletic team. The Club Sports Federation will also provide participants with the opportunity improve their health, physical fitness, teamwork, and leadership skills; in addition to, helping students understand the philosophy of good sportsmanship while they are representing Eastern Washington University in club competitions or workouts.

Although, the federation does have the right and responsibility of making recommendations to the ASEWU as well as campus recreation it still serves as a union of clubs engaged in sports based activity all of which have a say in the councils decisions. By joining together they foster cooperation between each other and may assist one another as each individual club continues to grow and improve.

Although the goals of each club differ they each share a common set of goals. These goals set forth by the federation at its founding are:

1. Encourage members to learn new or improve existing sport skills
2. To engage in structured competition, if desired, by the club members
3. To develop and maintain a high level of physical fitness
4. To develop leadership and administrative skills
5. To encourage EWU students to participate and try new activities as a means of making their experience at EWU more rewarding and memorable
6. To maintain high ethical standards in all aspects of the club sport activity so that participants learn and understand the importance of fair play

7. Provide EWU students with the opportunity for growth outside the classroom through Club Sport activities
