REMINDER: Presidents of club sports should send any updated club information to christj6@tcnj.edu so their websites can be updated. Thank you.

Welcome to all club sports staff, alumni, current and future players! This is the TCNJ club sports homepage, where you can get up to date information on overall club sports news. If you are looking for a specific sport webpage, you can find it in the dropbox under "Club Sports" in the toolbar at the top of the page.

Rule changes put in effect during the 2012 Fall season that need to be made aware of for the health and safety of all students participating in the sport club program:

1. All students, staff, and faculty may participate in the Sport Club program. A student is defined as a person enrolled in The College of New Jersey that is paying a student activity fee. Alumni and non-students are not allowed to participate. They are allowed to assist the team as a coach but must fill out the necessary forms (that can be found on sport club web page) before starting. All club sport teams must follow their respective league policies concerning student participation with regard to enrollment policies and procedures.
2. Green Lane is closed until after Spring Break.
3. Since Green Lane will be closed until after Spring Break, please inform all of your players that if they trespass on Green Lane your team will face suspension for the entire academic year. The College is being very strict with this rule.
4. Please inform your players that before participating in any activity that they should be cleared by their physician to allow them to participate in an activity.
5. Please make sure that all required paperwork is turned in to Debbie Simpson before the first scheduled practice. Roster, waivers, coaches’ contract, code of ethics - all can be found under the "Club Forms" tab. All coaches and/or advisors must sign a contingency work form from the college which will be turned in to human resources so that they can be given an ID card and parking pass. The Contingency work form can be found on the Human Resources web page. Coaches and/or Advisors cannot participate in practices or games until that form is completed and turned in to Debbie.
6. Teams who are traveling to national and regional tournaments or who have overnight tournaments must have an advisor or coach with them. Teams who are traveling more than 4 hours to an away game must rent vans or a bus to transport players unless they are flying. For all travel purposes, teams must fill out a Travel Roster found on the Sport Club forms webpage. TCNJ will not allow us to use college owned vehicles. For safety reasons and cost it is cheaper to rent vans or a bus. It is safer and more cost effective to have teams travel together in a chartered bus, school bus, or in rental vans. If the team requires an overnight stay then the team is responsible for the bus drivers and intramural or sport club staff members lodging and meals as well. This is new and if the teams do not have a coach or advisor then either Debbie or one of her staff must attend. So when doing fundraising please be aware that you include extra fundraising for that purpose.
7. Please feel free to contact dsimpson@tcnj.edu at any time with any concerns or questions. A downloadable copy of these rules can be found under the "Club Forms" tab. We look forward to an exciting and challenging year.

On Wednesday, March 30th, 2011 Mr. John Castaldo, the athletic director, spoke to all of the Club teams. Here is brief overview of his main points and important things that the teams must keep in mind. Please take a look at the notes here.

Below you can find all of the information and forms necessary for the 2011 Fall club sports season. Please fill out the forms and give to Deborah Simpson in the REC Center as soon as possible. Each of these form must be filled out to allow your club sport to be eligible for its representative season.

Located on The College of New Jersey's campus, 118 participants ran or walked to support the memory of three former Club Sport athletes whom have passed away due to illness or tragic events: Kathleen Walsh - Women's Club Soccer, Ken Johnsen - Men's Rugby, and Jason Cairns - Men's Rugby. This event was also held to raise awareness for club sports on campus. In the future, two club sport members at TCNJ will be selected for an award in honor of the three former club sport student athletes.
