If you’re interested in starting a new club contact Kristen Drapp LaFleur at kdrapp@uh.edu.

A Sport Club is a registered student organization formed by individuals with a common interest and desire to participate in a favorite sport activity.

Clubs give the university community an opportunity to learn new skills, improve skill levels, and enjoy the recreational and social fellowship derived from sports involvement.
