SPORT CLUBS A sport club is a group of students who meet regularly to pursue an interest in a competitive collegiate activity at the state, regional, and national level. UCR sport clubs are an exciting alternative to intramural sports and offers a way of getting involved in a fun and competitive environment. Rugby, Soccer, Volleyball, Kendo, and Ballroom Dancing clubs compete against other college teams. We have various highly competitive sports and Rec club teams.

Sport clubs enable students to enhance their collegiate experience and serve as an excellent setting for the development of athletic skills, student leadership and social outlets. All participants are welcome and membership fees are required for uniforms, association fees and other equipment. There are try-outs as it relates to becoming a member of the team.

SRC North The Treadwall at SRC North is exactly that; a climbing wall that acts like a treadmill and will go as long as you can. If you are looking for an alternative workout or training to take your climbing game to the next level, the Treadwall will give you everything you want and more. No climbing shoes necessary. All levels are welcome. Create your own workout or use the Treadwall during one of your cross training circuits for the ultimate workout.

CHALLENGE COURSE
Through carefully designed and led activities, individuals and teams explore communication, group dynamics, confidence, decision-making, team spirit, trust, cooperation, motivation, creativity, conflict resolution, diversity and feedback. We accomplish this by creating a physically and emotionally safe environment in which individuals and teams are free to step outside of their comfort zone and take a risk. Another key element to our program is fun! We believe the team that plays together stays together, and people are much more willing to learn when fun is involved.
