Sport Clubs

If you have any specific sport club related questions, please email the club directly. You can find their emails listed below. If you have any generic questions, please email our Sport Club Council at scac@tcnj.edu.

The Sport Club program at The College of New Jersey offers the community an opportunity to participate in a broad variety of sports and recreational activities.  All programs are based on student interest and designed to enhance the TCNJ experience by creating an environment where students can unite in diverse groups to achieve common goals and objectives while encouraging healthy lifestyles.  Sport Clubs provide a valuable learning experience through student involvement in fundraising, public relations, organization, administration, budgeting, scheduling, teaching, and leadership development.

Sport Clubs are 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 and members.

The Sport Club Council (SCC) is the primary student-lead oversight organization responsible for advising, advocating, and unifying all organizations within the Sports Club Program at The College of New Jersey and ensuring that participants are aware of their rights and responsibilities as The College of New Jersey Sport Club student-athletes. The SCC will serve as the link between sport clubs and the college administration, and be advised by the Director of Recreation. The SCC shall set and enforce the Sport Club guidelines.

Whether you are a four-year HS varsity letter holder or have a new-found passion for the sport, Club Basketball is the perfect option for you. It is a happy median between the varsity level and a simple desire to play pick-up with friends. We do participate in a league with highly competitive club teams from around the area; however, our club is organized so that players of all levels of competition will be able to make the most out of their experience on the team. Generally, we schedule a minimum of four tournaments per semester. As for practices, we hold at least two per week while organizing training sessions or shoot-arounds, as well. Although practices, training sessions and shoot-arounds are not mandatory, attendance is encouraged as it is the basis upon which we make rosters for each tournament.
