Sports Clubs

Want to join a club?     Questions? sportsclubs@lafayette.edu

Sports clubs at Lafayette are student-initiated, student-run organizations that depend on their membership being fully involved in the club’s leadership, decision-making, and operational organization. Each club has been founded by and is governed by a student executive board for that particular club. Student clubs are responsible for their organization’s budget development and fundraising (i.e., Student Government budget requests, member dues, fundraisers, and donations).

Disclaimer: We recommend consulting with a physician before starting any exercise program. You should cease exercising and contact a member of our staff if you experience symptoms (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, disorientation, nausea, exhaustion) which may signal a serious medical condition. Personal trainers are available to design a customized exercise routine.
