Membership Guidelines
All officially enrolled Case Western Reserve University students (undergraduate and
graduate), faculty and staff are eligible to join a sports club as a regular member.
Intercollegiate athletes may compete for a sports club in the same academic year that
they are listed as varsity players. However, the sport club in which they choose to
participate may not be similar to their varsity participation.
A sports club may not restrict the number of members allowed, however, it is recognized
that only a certain number can realistically participate in competition. It is the
responsibility of each sports club to work out a fair and equitable method to accommodate
members’ desires for coaching and competition.
Membership rosters are to be submitted to the Sport Club Director, who will process the
names for eligibility. Sports clubs should pay attention to their sanctioning organizations,
as to eligibility of graduate students, faculty and staff members. Ineligible individuals
shall not be permitted to participate.
A sports club must have a membership of at least ten (10) full-time undergraduate students
and a total membership must be at least sixty (60 %) percent students. That sixty percent
(60%) of student club membership ( undergraduate and graduate students ) must have a
minimum of sixty percent (60%) undergraduate students. All membership in sports clubs is
open without regard to race, religion, age, sex, color, handicap, disability, sexual orientation,
national or ethnic origin, political affiliation, or statues as a disabled veteran or veteran of the
Vietnam era.
