Sport Club Program Mission
The sport clubs program at California State University, Dominguez Hills provides students with opportunities to develop athletic, academic, and interpersonal skills. Sport clubs complement the Intercollegiate Athletic Program by providing structured competition with other universities and amateur clubs in a wide variety of sports with multiple levels of competition. Sport clubs strive to offer competitive experiences to all student-athletes, from novice to elite, who desire to participate athletically. Sport clubs endeavor to enhance the image of California State University, Dominguez Hills by representing the ideals of excellence and sportsmanship in intercollegiate competition. Through their involvement, students gain valuable experience in leadership, organization, teamwork, and perseverance, all essential skills for future personal and professional success.
Sport clubs are chartered and advised by the Loker Student Union, Inc. (LSU), which operates as a unit within the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs. While the Loker Student Union assists clubs in securing funds, facilities and equipment, the emphasis is on student leadership, development and involvement.
Sport clubs is student-initiated and student managed. Club members are actively involved in determining the objectives and procedures of their club. The organizational and decision-making duties of each club are the responsibility of the members and their officers. The clubs with the most success and stability are those with active members and dedicated officers.
Sport clubs are not part of the CSUDH Intercollegiate Athletic Department, nor should they be mistaken as varsity sports supported by those funds. The sport clubs program is designed to supplement intercollegiate and intramural programs. In sport clubs, as with other student clubs and organizations, the members assume primary financial and organizational responsibilities. There are no University- paid scholarships, and no University- paid coaching staff.
Loker Student Union considers participation in sport club as a purely voluntary activity, and individuals participate at their own risk. Participants should understand that they are responsible for any and all costs arising out of injury or property damage sustained through participation.
Teams are NOT agents of the Loker Student Union, or California State University, Dominguez Hills. Sport clubs may use the name " California State University, Dominguez Hills" and “CSUDH” in describing their organization; however, sport clubs must understand and make clear in their representation to third parties that they speak only for their own members, not the Loker Student Union or the University.
