Club Sports Programs

 

club sports

The club sports program exists to provide the students, faculty, and staff of Auraria an opportunity to promote and develop their individual athletic interests in an organized fashion with others who share the same interests. The clubs are student-initiated organizations with the emphasis on participation. Therefore, no club can discriminate because of race, creed, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, handicap, age or ability.

CLUB SPORTS MANUAL

The club sports manual has been prepared to help familiarize and assist the club sports participants with the policies and procedures of the Metro State Athletic Department. Further, it is meant to be a helpful reference guide for the club members in their decision making process. Each club officer and coach should be familiar with this handbook. All newly-elected club sport presidents must sign the Club Sport Manual Acknowledgement Form (CSMA). The CSMA can be found on the last page of the Club Sports Manual. The signed form must be submitted to the Club Sports Coordinator. A club sport cannot be recognized without a signed CSMA form from the current club president.
