National
Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
The National
Collegiate Athletic Association is the organization
through which the nation's colleges and universities speak
and act on athletics matters at the national level. It is
a voluntary association of more than 1,200 institutions,
conferences, organizations and individuals devoted to the
sound administration of intercollegiate athletics.
About 323,226
student-athletes participated in NCAA-sponsored sports in
1995-96, the highest ever. This number is significantly
higher than in previous years because, for the first time,
it includes both the 902 active and 96 provisional members
of the NCAA. However, participation at active member
schools is estimated to be a record high as well,
approximately 304,671 compared to last year's record of
299,608. The gains were primarily in women's sports with
men's participation remaining almost flat.

Club Volleyball
Sport Clubs are made up of
individuals that have a desire to compete or participate
in a sport throughout their college career. Many colleges
and universities field sport club teams because no varsity
team exists, or because the talent, dedication to the
sport, and interest demand an opportunity other than
varsity athletics or intramurals. Sport Club teams
function under student leadership and the monies needed to
support them are generated through membership dues,
fundraisers, donations, and oftentimes, some university
support.
Sport clubs include
traditional and non-traditional activities such as:
volleyball, soccer, lacrosse, rugby, cycling, martial
arts, rodeo, ultimate disc, badminton, crew, sailing, etc.
Coaches or leaders are often unpaid volunteers, or
students themselves. Teams or groups hold regular
practices and often compete in an organized league with
other collegiate sport club teams. The NIRSA Collegiate
Sport Club Championships offer National Championships in
the sports of Volleyball, Soccer and Lacrosse. A number of
additional sports are being researched to add to the
calendar of events.
