What is the difference between Club Sports and Intramural Sports?
Club sports are led and organized by students. Team practices, meetings, competitions, budgets and fundraisers are organized, managed and led by club officers and club members. Club teams practice multiple times per week and many travel to compete against other schools' club sports teams. Intramural sports consist of LMU students that compete against each other in organized leagues and tournaments within the LMU community on a more recreational level.
What is the difference between Club Sports and Intercollegiate Athletics?
Sport clubs are student groups organized by students who are motivated by a common interest in expanding their proficiency, participation, and competition in a specific sport or recreational activity. Intercollegiate Athletics are comprised of student athletes who have been recruited by LMU to play a specific sport and may have been awarded scholarship funding. All LMU Intercollegiate Sports are listed with the NCAA as sponsored by university.
