Club Sports
Lamar State College Port Arthur is committed to
providing student life experiences to our students.
When students show an interest in forming a club
sports team, the Fitness Center Staff work with the
student group to help achieve the students’ goals.
Club sports are designed to meet the competitive
athletic desires of students, faculty and staff. Many
student athletes choose Club Sports because their
sport is not offered through the varsity or they do not
wish to make the time commitment necessary for a
varsity sport. Club Sports competes against other
institutions of higher education from the local and
regional area on a non-varsity level. Each Club
Sports Team is a registered student organization
providing instruction, organizing
practice
and
scheduling competition in a specific sport. As a
student organization each team is administered,
developed and coached by students on that team.
Teams may have larger or fewer members based on
the level of interest in that sport. Club Sports are
partially funded through the College, and no
athletes are on scholarships.
