Club Sports

The purpose of Wheaton College Club Sports is to provide student-initiated, managed and funded sports opportunities at an intercollegiate level of competition, above that of intramurals and below that of varsity athletics, to Wheaton College students, faculty, staff and their spouses.

Club sports can provide the opportunity for students to develop positive Christian attitudes and good sportsmanship through the testing ground of athletic competition. Club sports offer extra-curricular learning experiences for their members through involvement in fund raising, public relations, organization, administration, budgeting and scheduling as well as the development of skills in their particular sport. Involvement in a group and a team situation helps enhance the student's overall education while at college.

The Wheaton College club sports purpose supports the vision of the athletic department and the overall mission of the college.

Any student desiring to participate in a club sport or any student having further questions should contact the club contact person (listed on the sport's individual page) or Sydney Westrate.
