Club Sports at TAMUK

Club Sports are one of the best ways to stay active, meet new people, and get involved on campus. No experience is needed—every Javelina is welcome!

The Club Sports Program at Texas A&M University–Kingsville gives students the chance to compete as non-varsity athletes in intercollegiate competitions while building teamwork, leadership, and lifelong skills. Each club is run by students and operates as a registered student organization through the Office of Student Engagement, meaning members take the lead in managing, organizing, and growing their teams.

Contact malik.jones@tamuk.edu to learn how to bring a new club sport to campus.

  1. Schedule an appointment with the Competitive Sports Coordinator at the Recreational Sports Department to discuss the process to becoming a Club Sport, and the differences between a Club Sport and Registered Student Organization.
  2. Select an Advisor. Each organization must have an advisor who is a member of the faculty or staff at TAMUK. Graduate students and teaching students are not eligible to be advisors.
  3. Create a Statement of Purpose which states what your organization wishes to accomplish.
  4. Create an Information Sheet which is a form outlining your organization’s leadership.
  5. Create a Constitution. All organizations must submit (and keep current) a constitution and any other governing documents, such as by-laws. These will also routinely need to be updated every three years. All versions must be dated and have Advisor and Officer signatures.
  6. Create a Membership Roster. Each organization must have at least 10 members to be a recognized student organization.
  7. Advisor Contract: Each organization must submit an Advisor Contract. The advisor must complete the Campus Clery Compliance Training on TrainTraq  (2111844: Clery Act Guidelines for A&M System Campus Security Authorities). 
  8. New Student Organization documents must be submitted on TAMUK INVOLVED for approval.
  9. Javelina Central is where you will be updated on the latest important deadlines and information for student groups and organizations on campus. Javelina Central will also provide information on events, activities, and programs.
