SPORT CLUB FAQ

The University of Pennsylvania Sport Club Council (SCC) consists of all sport clubs sponsored by the Department of Campus Recreation. SCC complements the University's intercollegiate athletic programs, intramural activities, informal instruction, and instructional class offerings. The Sport Club program is administered by staff members of the Department of Recreation who offer professional guidance and administration to the clubs in SCC. Each club is formed, developed, governed, and administered by the student membership of that club working with the sport club administration. The key to the success of this program and each club is student leadership, interest, involvement, and participation. Sport clubs are governed by both the rules and regulations governing all recognized student organizations on the Penn campus and those established by the Division of Recreation and Intercollegiate Athletics.
