Club Sports Policies

These policies are for Student Government Club Sports that use the indoor and outdoor facilities of the Center for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation (CIAR) and the Gordon Field House (GFH).

In order to secure a reservation for a reoccurring club practice or event, please call 585-475-7663 or visit the SLC Main Office. Hours of operation are: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9am-4pm and Tuesday, Thursday from 9am-6:30pm.

Note:For Field House reservations (includes the Field House arena and aquatics center), call 585-475-6477. On-line reservations can also be made at:

https://www.rit.edu/fa/fieldhouse/recreation_reservation.php.

Clubs must meet the following requirements before submitting a reservation request:

• Must be recognized as an official club by Campus Life
• Must be in good standing with Campus Life (no holds)
• All liability waivers must be completed and returned to the Club Sports Coordinator (A 1-2 week grace period will be allowed at the beginning of each quarter in order to give club members time to turn in their waivers.)

Note: Prior to registering an event with EVR, clubs must first obtain a reservation confirmation number from the SLC Main Office or Gordon Field House.

Reservation Policies:

All SG Club Sports are allotted two hours of reserved recreation time per week.

• Once a club has used their reservation quota, the facilities are available on a first come first served basis.
• If there are not any other reservations following a club's time and no other group is interested in using the space, they can continue to practice. Otherwise, they must leave at the end of their reservation time.
• During peak hours, when a club does not have a reservation, they cannot monopolize space for more than one hour. This ensures that others have the opportunity to recreate as well.
• Clubs must have at least 10 participants in order to hold a reservation. If turnout is consistently low for a particular club, future reservations for the club will be cancelled.

Martial Arts / Fencing Clubs

Participation in any martial arts activity, with or without weapons, must take place in the presence of a CIAR approved instructor during an activity class or club reservation time. Martial Arts club instructors must be approved by the CIAR Martial Arts Coordinator and provide an ID upon request.  Clubs may not practice without the presence of an approved instructor for their specific club.

Roller Hockey Club

Court 5, in the Student Life Center, is a temporary location in order to accommodate roller hockey reservations. There are several rules that must be followed in order for this to occur. Please contact the Club Sports Coordinator at bdcsid@rit.edu for details.

CIAR Club Sports Policies for non RIT Participants

Regular Practices and Meetings

A non-RIT student may be sponsored by an RIT club member as a guest 5 times or less during a quarter by purchasing a $5 guest pass.

If a non-RIT student plans on visiting more than 5 times to practice with a particular club, they may purchase a CIAR club membership for a discounted price of $55 per quarter. In order to receive this discounted membership, the current RIT club president must submit a written request to the SLC Main Office along with payment. This membership will only grant access to an individual during official club reservation times. Once a person purchases a membership, their name will be placed on a list. Each person will need to provide a photo ID in order to verify who they are and gain access to the facility.

Non-RIT club members cannot sponsor someone else.

Club Sports Special Events

Students from other schools who participate in RIT Club Sports events (such as volleyball tournaments, swing dances, etc.) would not be required to pay the guest fee. However, the event must be registered with EVR. Also, an RIT member of the club would need to monitor the facility/field entrance in order to verify who is participating in the event and collect all event fees.

Club Sports: Advisors / Instructors / Coaches

We are happy to grant a free Friend of the Institute membership to advisors, instructors, or coaches who are not affiliated with RIT, but are volunteering their time to help improve the function of these clubs. The Assistant Director for Campus Life and the Club Sports Coordinator must approve these individuals in advance and inform the SLC Main Office of the agreement. The free membership is only valid during the quarters in which they are actively participating with the club. As a Friend of the Institute they may not sponsor others for a membership.
