Carleton Athletics will no longer be accepting applications for clubs for the 2011-12 academic year.
Carleton University’s Department of Recreation and Athletics currently offers participation in competitive clubs for students in several sports that are run separately from varsity sports. The competitive sport club participates in competitions through the Ontario University Athletics (OUA), and/or other post secondary institutions within Ontario and Quebec. The role of these clubs is to provide participation/training opportunities in athletics; create competitive opportunities; to develop leadership, athletic skills and promote healthy living and to increase opportunities for athletes to compete/participate in competitive sports.
The fundamental values of competitive sports clubs at Carleton are that there must be must be demonstrated student interest and organization, must be self-sufficient and autonomous, must ensure qualified technical resources are utilized (i.e. certified coaches/instructors) and must be open to all Carleton students. In addition each club must ensure the health and safety of all participants, respect Carleton University’s values, policies, operating procedures and viable tradition, be responsible and exhibit mature conduct, operate in a democratic process, abide by all rules and regulations (internal and external) and ensure strict adherence to the Code of Conduct
There are several limitations of being a competitive sports club. There is minimal financial and administrative support and limited facility availability. For 2011-12 academic year please note that due to significant budget restraints, funding for any new competitive clubs is extremely limited. Please review the links below for further information.
