UC Club Sports
Over 50 student-athletes came to join forces with the Special Olympics of Hamilton County for the bi-annual Unified Sports event in February 2020.
What is Club Sports?
UC Club Sports organizations are defined as a registered student organization (RSO) that exists to promote and develop interest in a particular sport or physical activity while also building valuable leadership skills. The UC Club Sports Program provides a wide range of instructional, recreational, and competitive athletic opportunities, with an emphasis on student leadership, organization, and team management. The 45+ club sports organizations offer students a chance to be part of a team, run an organization, and represent University of Cincinnati while competing against and traveling to other universities. Many of our clubs compete at an elite level and contest for National Championships in their sport.
