Sports Clubs provide unique opportunities for students to participate, compete, and develop skills

in a variety of sports. These clubs actively recruit both new and experienced student athletes

during the year, and through weekly practices, prepare for intercollegiate competitions.

Competitive Sports Clubs are governed by regulations of both the Department of Intercollegiate

Athletics & Recreation and the Sports Club Federation.

The success of the Club Sports Program at RIT is the result of dedicated student leaders

volunteering their time, effort, and guidance to their respective clubs. Sport club officers

provide strong leadership as well as a vision that carries each club into the new academic year.

What is a Competitive Sports Club?

A competitive sports club is comprised of a group of students enrolled at RIT who form an

organization to practice and compete in a sport. All of these clubs are considered to be a part of

both the Center for Campus Life’s Student Government Recognized Clubs and Recreation as

“Recognized Competitive Sports Clubs” on campus. Competitive Sports Clubs are instructional,

recreational, competitive and social in nature with a strong emphasis on competing against other

colleges and university sport club programs.

How do Competitive Sports Clubs Differ from Varsity Sports?

Competitive sports clubs differ from varsity sports in that the NCAA Division 3 sanctions varsity

sports. Sport clubs are responsible for their own administration and for many, if not all, of their

own expenses. Unlike varsity sports, students themselves manage the sports clubs they

participate. Sports clubs are required to have a faculty advisor as well as a head coach/ teaching

assistant that must be approved by the center of campus life. The club sports Graduate Assistant

and Assistant Director of Clubs and Community Outreach oversee the RIT Competitive Club

Sport Program.

How do Competitive Sports Clubs Differ from Recreational Sports Clubs?

Competitive Sports clubs utilize a great amount of time, space and money to operate because of

their competitive nature, need to travel, practice and to compete. Recreational Sports Clubs are

Sports Clubs that are SG recognized but are NOT allowed to compete with other college and

university club sports teams more than once per semester. Recreational Sports Clubs are

recognized by SG’s Club Review Board and abide by all SG policies and procedures for clubs.

At any time, a recreational sports club can fill out a Competitive Sports Club Recognition Packet

to apply to become a Competitive Sports Club.

Cycling Club

The RIT Cycling Club was found in the

Spring 2008. Since then the club has

grown from a few guys racing road bikes

to a three season team including

Mountain, Cyclo-Cross and Road. We have

also gained a large portion of riders who

simple wish to just cruise on their bikes

casually. The club is committed to

supporting all aspects of riding. So

whether you are looking to race all around

the Northeast or just explore Rochester on

your bike the RIT Cycling Club is what you

are looking for. While the club is run with

students in mind we do consider ourselves

a part of the cycling community. Feel free

to contact the club even if you are not a RIT

student. Achievements:

Dodgeball Club

The purpose of RIT Dodgeball club is to provide a fun activity to the RIT community on a

weekly basis. We are dedicated to promoting the sport of Dodgeball to all students, graduates,

alumni and other community members.

Dodgeball (Trampoline Dodgeball), Collegiate Dodgeball, and Friday Night Dodgeball. Our

FND is from 8-11pm each week and if you’re in Rochester/part of the NCDA stop by.

record in the Spring, if you’re interested, please check us out.

Equestrian Club

Interested in horses and horseback riding? The RIT Equestrian Team is the club for you! No

experience is necessary because we welcome anyone with an interest in riding horses! You can

even get P.E. credit depending on how many lessons you take or how many shows you attend.

Where We Ride We currently ride at Lehman Farms (English) and The Homestead (Western). You don't have to

have a horse to be on the team. In our lessons, we use the stable's lesson horses so we do not get

used to riding one horse. Lessons are usually $20-35 depending on how many people you ride

with and how long the lesson is. No car? No problem! Most of our members carpool to lessons.

IHSA Competitions The RIT Equestrian Team is a member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association. We attend

horse shows at Region 2, Zone 2 colleges, including Nazareth, Cazenovia, Alfred, and St.

Lawrence University.

IHSA shows are a true test of horsemanship ability. When we go to shows, we ride the host

school's horses. We aren't allowed to school/warm up the horses before our classes, we just get

on and go! Horse and rider are paired up randomly, which makes all riders compete on an equal

level (to a point).

The IHSA currently has two disciplines - Hunter/English & Stock Seat/Western. You can choose

to compete in one, the other, or both, depending on how motivated you are to compete. There are

five levels that you will be accessed into at the beginning of the year - Walk-Trot, Walk-Trot-

Canter, Novice, Intermediate, or Open. Depending on where you point into, you may start at

basic walk/trot, walk/trot/canter, or low level jumping for hunters or reining patterns for

western/stock seat. Riders move up through the levels by accumulating points by placing in the

ribbons (which go to 6th) at each horse show. Points carry over from year to year except for the

open riders.

13

Fencing Club

The RIT Fencing club teaches the subtle art of sword play. Members can choose to learn foil,

epee or sabre with student coaches assisting at practice. The club hosts several tournaments

every year open to members and fencers from the surrounding area as well as going to off-

campus tournaments as well. The RIT fencing club is open to all with an interest in fencing,

regardless of initial skill level.

Fishing Club

The RIT Anglers club competes on a national level through the FLW (FLWfishing.com)

collegiate bass fishing series. We compete in the Northern division, and have 3 Northern

qualifier tournaments to earn a birth into the regional championship. The top 10 teams in the

regional championship compete in the national championship. Teams may also earn a berth to

the national championship by placing in the top 10 in the FLW collegiate open, a tournament in

which all regions are represented.

RIT Anglers also competes on a state level through the NYTBF (NYthebassfederation.com),

which has recently associated with the ACA (Association of Collegiate Anglers) to compete on a

national level. Last fall, RIT Angler's President Jason Karol won the 2014 NYTBF Collegiate

Cup championship on Lake Champlain, NY with a 5-fish limit of 17.53 lbs. This win qualified

the RIT Anglers duo of Jason Karol and John Henderson Jr to compete in the ACA Cabela's Boat

US collegiate national championship on Lake Pickwick, AL 5/22-3/15. The team placed 49th

out of 153 teams.

This year's ACA/NYTBF Collegiate Cup events:

8/23/15- Mohawk River

9/27/15 Lake Champlain (Plattsburg)

Championship 10/17/15 Lake Champlain (Ticonderoga)

RIT Angler's President Jason Karol also competes in state-level professional NYTBF events and

is currently leading in the Angler of the Year (AOY) race after 2 events. Karol placed 4th in the

first event 10/26/14 on Lake Champlain (Ticonderoga) and finished 3d in the 2nd event, 6/14/15

on Lake Champlain.

Flag Football Club

The 2014-2015 season was a history making season year for the club. The club received a record number

of new incoming talents. This allowed the club for the first time in club history to send two teams to

compete an NIRSA regional tournament.

In the Springfield College NIRSA regional Team 1 advance (2-1) out of pool play lead by a historic good

defense. With upperclassmen leaders (Kyle Meisenzahl, Chaquan Smith, Dean Kubik, Kevin “ChaBoi”

Jarosz) and great freshman performances (Chris Kokkinos, Tyler Zimmermann, James Ung) the defense

allowed the fewest point of any team in club history. The team only lost a game in pool play to

tournament rival Boston College. In the playoff seniors Ray Ali and Evan Briggs led the team in an epic

battle with home team Springfield College which, unfortunately, ended with the Tigers losing 12-13.

Team 2 who were mostly freshman and guys at their first tournament was grouped with defending

champs Bloomfield University. Brian Bainbridge led the second team who fought valiantly but did not

advance out of pool play.

In the Maryland regionals, the team went 2-1 in pool play and advance to the playoff. The defense

continues their stellar play, however, with both

Ray and Briggs nursing injury the offense

struggled. In the first round of the Tigers went

down 14-0 heading into the fourth but spark but a

game changing interception by Sal Damico, RIT

went on to score 20 unanswered points including

last minute touchdown pass from Ray to Kyle. In

the next round injury to star QB Ray was too much

to overcome and the Tiger loss to the eventual

tournament winners Suffolk College.

When the RIT football club is not competing the

club like to become involved with events at RIT.

Club members competed in Mudtug and Vice President Tori Levi ran in Pi Kappa Phi Miss push

America. The team also hosts many events such as team dinners; capture the flag, brickbowl. The club

close the year attended Imagine RIT where they host the ever popular pie a football player booth. It was a

great year and the new eboard eagerly waits for the start of 2015- 2016 year!

Freestyle Snowboarding Club

The club focuses on two aspects of snowboarding; recreational and competitive. This consists of

going to the club selected mountain, such as Bristol or Hunt Hollow, a few times a week. The

end of the trip usually includes a cookout at the mountain where everyone relaxes and hangs out.

There are numerous ways for the recreational snowboard team to interact with everyone, and as

always, current members go out of their way to ensure that new members feel welcomed and get

to know everyone.

The competitive team not only goes on the trips to the mountains for recreation, but also attends

several competitions during the season. These competitions include boarder cross, slopestyle,

and half-pipe. These events are held at different mountains, and finally culminate in Nationals.

The past few years have seen more and more members of our team attending nationals, which

has been fun for everyone involved! All ranges of skill compete, and for many this is usually the

very first competitions ever.

The Snowboard team and club also do several events throughout the school year. These include a

pre-Christmas trip to Tremblant, Canada, an early spring Rail-jam, big spring break trips, and at

times hosts snowboard movie viewings. Everyone is always encouraged to interact with each

other, and long lasting friendships are built. Many of the team's alumni come back and visit

frequently, riding and even sometimes competing alongside the rest of the team.

All in all, the Snowboard team is a great experience that isn't soon forgotten.

18

Ice Hockey Club

The RIT Men's Ice Hockey club is in accordance with the American Collegiate Hockey

Association in the Division I level. We are dedicated, as a club, to provide students with an

opportunity to play intercollegiate ice hockey at a competitive level. As a RIT SG recognized

Club, we are entitled to funds, however limited. Therefore we do charge a player fee. This fee is

determined at the beginning of each year and will cover practice and game ice time as well as

travel expenses.

As student athletes, we understand that education is our first priority here at RIT and that school

takes precedence over hockey. However, as a team we are committed to preparing ourselves for

the highest level of competition. Having said that, we as a club have rules and regulations for

players regarding attendance to practice, fundraising events, etc. that will dictate a player’s

eligibility for games.

As a Student Government recognized club, we cannot limit our membership by sex and we

encourage membership of both men and women. However, the ACHA is a men's league and we

cannot roster a female for a game.

Racquetball Club

If you can pick up a racquet, you can play racquetball! At our club we help to teach anyone who

is interested in the sport. Whether it be learning how to play, learning advanced techniques, or

even just coming to have fun or relieve some stress, racquetball is a sport that is fun for

everyone. It is great for both casual and competitive players alike, and it is a great way to have

some fun.

Racquetball is a fast-paced sport that combines agility, footwork, composure, and skill to out-

maneuver your opponent in a match where the goal is to outscore your opponent in a fifteen

point match. The best players know how and where to hit the ball so it cannot be returned.

Whether it's speed or placement, your style of play will determine how you perform on the court.

Currently, we meet weekly in the SLC (Gordon Field House) at the racquetball courts every

Monday and Wednesday night from 8PM to 10PM. There are no requirements for joining, so if

you are interested in racquetball, stop by any night!

At each meeting we try to talk briefly about any updates or announcements that we have before

starting to play. If we can, we will usually spend approximately the first 30 minutes of club to go

over some technique to those who are interested in learning some advanced form, then we play

for the rest of the meeting.

The RIT Racquetball Club also sends an 8-member Men's and Women's team to play against

other colleges in the ECRC. Anyone interested in playing on the team can try out, and team

member's divisions are determined through a tryout system. The weekend before each

tournament we host tryouts at practice, and the outcome of the tryout determines the ranking for

the upcoming tournament. If you would like to try out for a tournament, you must be attending

all the practices.

others about the game. We learn together, play together, and stand together. Rugby is not just

about passing, tackling, and running; it is about learning together, sportsmanship, and fifteen

players standing as one to achieve the same goal. All experience levels from rookie to veteran

are always welcome.

Successfully hosted a double elimination tournament, which raised money for the

Northeast Passage Wildcats wheelchair rugby team.
