Sport or Activity based SUO Clubs
Interested in a sport or activity that isn’t currently an organized UBCO Recreation activity? Create an SUO student club!
UBCO Recreation strives to provide support and resources within set guidelines, to sport or physical activity based student clubs of UBC’s Okanagan campus. SUO Clubs differ significantly from formally sponsored UBCO Recreation activities in that club members are responsible to organize, manage, promote, and largely fund their own activities; the success of each club is dependent on the dedicated efforts of its student leaders, UBCO advisors, and club members.
Find a full list of clubs in the SUO club directory. If you cannot find what you are looking for, you can visit the SUO office at UNC 133 for information, check the Student Association Handbook or email the Membership Outreach Coordinator (membership.outreach@suo.ca) to discuss next steps.
Benefits of being a Recreational Sports or Activity SUO Club
Space booking: Within reasonable requests, UBCO Recreation can assist with space bookings for playing/practice time. Acquiring both studio and gym space can be quite difficult and will be met to the best of UBCO Recreations’ ability.
Marketing: To elevate your club’s reach and impact, tag @ubco_recreation on your event post to be shared through Recreation’s following.
Event/operations assistance: If your sport or activity club is hosting a tournament or event, Recreation may provide some coaching to ensure your event is a success (e.g. helping with a tournament draw, lending available equipment, providing small prizes, etc.) Oftentimes, Recreation is happy to partner with clubs on their events. If you’re running an event, be in touch as to how we might be able to assist you.
