What is a Club Sport?

A club sport at New Paltz is a student organization derived and sustained through the leadership and interest of the students.
Club sports are established to promote and develop the interests and skills of members in a particular sport activity. Due to the diversity of students’ interests and skills, New Paltz club sports offer many unique opportunities to the student body. Generally, club sports fall into three categories: Instructional, Recreational, and Competitive. An instructional club sport helps enhance or teach a particular sport activity. A recreational club acts primarily as a social outlet for club members and allows them to gather and participate in a particular sport activity. Competitive clubs allow players to continue to play and develop their skills in a sport activity at a competitive level. These clubs usually belong to leagues or associations, competing in contests or tournaments with other universities.
