Historical Note

Recreational Sports Programs operates the Intramural Activities Building, the Waterfront Activities Center and Golf Driving Range. Its programs include sports skills and fitness classes, intramural sports and club sports.

Club sports are voluntary registered student organizations established by students who are motivated by a common interest to participate in a specific sport. Club sports are formed to provide an opportunity for members to learn new skills, engage in competition or enjoy recreational and social activities. They also offer special events and opportunities for informal participation in accordance with the educational objectives of the University of Washington. The Department of Recreational Sports Programs advises and assists students with the development of their clubs. Students in each club are responsible for the internal organization and conduct of their club activities, such as: writing their constitution and by-laws; conducting club meetings; establishing dues to offset club expenditures; planning fund raising projects; coordinating practices, competitions and special events; publicizing club events; and working constructively with other club members to develop a successful program.
