Club Sports
The WVU Sports Club program provides opportunities to learn a new sport or enhance your skills. Joining a club sport has many rewards, including meeting new people, staying fit, and traveling to interesting locations. Both beginners and experienced competitors are welcome.
Clubs are organized and administered by students, which provides an excellent opportunity for valuable leadership experience. Each club has an advisor, who provides guidance to the club.
