Any student who has a great love for “alternative” sports such as fencing, badminton, or a desire for healthy competition, should get involved in an RSS sport club. Sport clubs at SIUC offer students the chance to participate in an extracurricular activity and further an interest that may not have been offered in their particular high school.

The diverse types of sports offered range from team sports such as lacrosse, rugby, and water polo to individual activities such as fencing, Aikido, judo, and racquetball. Some sport clubs have separate men’s and women’s teams, while others are coed.

Each club meets at different times during the week to practice and many compete in tournaments with other universities. These tournaments allow members of a club to travel, meet students and clubs from other schools with similar interests, and participate in friendly sports competition.
