About UsO FGCU Sport Clubs
O 27 Registered Sport Clubs, 700+ student athletes
O Program in the Department of Campus Recreation
O Part of the Division of Student Affairs
O Sport Clubs Council (SCC)O Consists of one representative from each clubO Run by elected student leaders that help
shape program policies and events
PhilosophyO Campus Recreation plays a vital role in our
students’ development by providing opportunities that encourage healthy lifestyles, sportsmanship, leadership, teamwork, and responsibility.
O Sport Clubs provided numerous development opportunities, and not just competitive outlets. Removing the “student-run” aspect of a club would only take away those development opportunities for our students.
