Club Sports

Club Sports are recognized student organizations, but they travel and compete with other collegiate club sports teams. Club sports are voluntary, so if you see a club sport that interests you, you may join and on the flip side, if you do not see the club sport you are interested in, you may start one. Club sports must have student officers and leaders to volunteer to organize, manage, and maintain the club. Clubs are required to have an advisor; the advisor may be either a staff/faculty advisor. 

Sport Club Advisory Group if needed or wanted beyond an advisor.

Esports

RiverHawk Esports is a club that is devoted to helping students not only learn about the esports field but also begin the steps toward creating a career.

This is accomplished in several different ways by:

• Inviting coaches to campus

• creating graphics and overlays for streams and videos created by the club
• hands on pc repair practice

It also allows students to take up leadership positions in subjects that interest them not normally available to them.
