What is a Sport Club? That is a good question! Sport Clubs are run by the students, for the students, with a heavy emphasis on student leadership in competition, performance, and team management. A sanctioned sport club provides a program of instruction, recreation, and/or competition in a specific sport or physical activity. Club members primarily organize, govern, develop, and largely fund their own activities through membership fees, grants, and fundraising. Joining a Sport Club is simple! Get in contact with the respective Club President to get involved.

Sport Clubs Include: CHEERLEADING CLUB Laurier Brantford’s Cheerleading Club is a newly growing team that is comprised of 20+ dedicated athletes each year. These athletes are skillful in stunting, jumping, tumbling and choreography which enables them to show off their hard work at provincial and national competitions nearing the end of the school year. Weekly practices and frequent fundraisers are held throughout the year. The Cheerleading Club is always looking for new, enthusiastic talent each year.
