Recreational Sport Clubs

Membership Registrations FOR Fall TERM WILL OPEN ON September 21, 2026. Memberships can be purchased online only at Western Sports & Recreation - RecreationAL Sport Clubs.

Western Campus Recreation offers a unique opportunity for the Western student community through the provision of Recreational Sport Clubs. Recreational Sport Clubs allow students to organize and manage their own Clubs to further their recreational experience in sports and physical activity.

Specific Recreational Sport Clubs registration for Fall term starts on September 21, 2026.

A Western Campus Recreational Sport Club is a sanctioned group established by students who share a common interest in a particular sport or physical activity. Recreational Sport Clubs provide instruction and skill development, student leadership opportunities, and/or competition. They are designed to enhance the Western University student experience and promote life-long learning and appreciation for physical activity, leadership, and service.

Student leaders, through an established Recreational Sport Clubs Executive Team, provide the backbone, success, and stability of the Recreational Sport Clubs experience. Student leaders take responsibility for a number of administrative and organizational activities that are closely monitored and evaluated to ensure a Club's long-term viability. 

Membership in Recreational Sport Clubs is only open to Western students enrolled in the current academic year, and who have an active membership to the Western Student Recreation Centre. This Membership must run the entire academic year from September to April, inclusively.

For more information about our individual Recreational Sport Clubs, please visit our List of Recreational Sport Clubs and their individual web pages.
