FAQs

The MIT Club Sports Program offers instructional and competitive teams to the MIT community. About 35 different teams are offered and about 1,100 participants play each year. Practices are generally between 2-4 times per week, and vary by club and your schedule.  Club sports are student run organizations; student officers such as presidents, treasurers, equipment managers, publicity chairs play a critical role in running each club.

One of the main goals of the program is to provide students with the opportunity for recreation as an outlet from academic endeavors.

Students play a significant role in the administration of the Club Sports Program. In collaboration with the Club Sports Office (W35-297), the Club Sports Council makes policy and funding decisions, while student leaders of each club handle many of the logistical details on a club by club basis. Without the efforts and support of these students, the MIT Intramural Sports Program would suffer significantly.

Club dues vary by club and go directly towards club operating needs.  In most cases, dues are low.  If dues create a large barrier of entry, please contact the club officers to see if any alternatives are available.
