NEW CLUB HEARING
Presentation
Once the above steps are completed, the club leader(s) will sit before the Sport Club Council (SCC) and explain their justification for why the new club should be admitted.
Think of this presentation as a business proposal. Explain to the council why the club should be created, how the club plans to govern itself, and the overall mission of the club.
Topics to include:
- What is the club? Assume the members of the council have no knowledge of the sport.
- Will the club be recreation or competition-based?
- Where will the club practice/meet?
- What funding sources will the club use?
- Is the club requesting any start-up funds?1
- What additional information is necessary for the council to approve the club?
After the New Club Hearing
Once the SCC has discussed the hearing, the club leaders will be notified via email whether or not the club will be recognized. Should the club be admitted to the Competitive Sports Program, the next steps to take will be presented at that time.
New Clubs may request up to $1,000 in startup funds. Stipulations on the amount, repayment, etc. will be determined by the Sport Club Council.
