Although both are managed by the Department of Campus Recreation, club sports teams are led and organized by students. Team practices, meetings, competitions, budgets, and fundraisers are organized, managed, and led by club officers and club members. Also, club sports travel to other universities to compete, while those playing intramurals do not practice and only compete against other Loyola students. 

Not necessarily. Many club sports teams recruit athletes of any skill level and are willing to teach newcomers their sport.

Due to the competitive nature of several of the clubs, some club teams do host try-outs. However, the majority of clubs sports do not hold tryouts. For information on a specific team, please contact the club officer. 

To join a club sport, please contact the club you are interested in to find out when they hold practices or try-outs. Many clubs hold general information sessions at the beginning of each semester to recruit interested new members. 

Club Sports commitments vary. Some clubs practice year-round, while others only practice in season. Competition attendance may also be mandatory for some clubs. 

Membership dues vary for each club. Higher dues can be expected for club sports that require a lot a lot of equipment, special facilities, and plan to travel frequently. Fundraising efforts will help reduce out of pocket expenses for members.
