Pitt Club Sports
Our Club Sports Program is dedicated to providing undergraduate and graduate students safe opportunities for participation in a wide variety of competitive, recreational, and instructional sport activities. Club sports offer leadership opportunities and team-building experiences, as each club is organized, managed, and led by students. To support club sport activity and growth, we provide access to campus recreation facilities and services.
For information regarding facility reservations for practices and competitions visit the Reserve A Facility page.
Competitive Clubs
Competitive clubs compete against outside competition, usually other collegiate clubs, as part of a structured regional or national league. Competitive clubs must be part of a National Governing Body or Association. Many competitive clubs have coaches, travel and play off-campus, and conduct regularly scheduled practices. Competitive club sports also typically involve a greater financial commitment and time commitment, both in number of days per week and a longer period for the season.

Recreational Clubs
Recreational Clubs are special interest activities that focus more on the instructional aspects and recreational play of the sport or nature of the club/activity they are associated with. They present a social interaction and less competitive environment. Little to no travel is involved and often times clubs only meet one or two times a week.
