Club Sports
Looking to get involved in competitive student-run sports? Club Sports offers one of the most diverse selections of sports on campus. From ice hockey to fencing, we've got you covered. Penn State Club Sports oversees recognized student organizations whose primary mission is to further sport through intercollegiate competition. These organizations are student-run and give students the opportunity to develop leadership skills in budgeting, organization, and time management.
All club sports organizations compete under the purview of a national governing body with an emphasis on intercollegiate competition and incorporate the learning of sport-specific skills through instruction. Club sports organizations may select members through a tryout process.
Keep your Competitive Spirit Going
All undergraduate and graduate students registered for at least one credit hour at the University Park campus are eligible to join a club sport. Students enrolled at the World Campus are not considered University Park students unless they are also enrolled in at least one credit hour at the University Park campus.
