The club baseball program was formed to give an opportunity for all male students who posses the skills necessary to play competitive baseball to be played during the spring and fall seasons. The team is engineered to be a developmental group to enhance and hone all players' skills. We are a member of the Mid-Atlantic Baseball Alliance (MABA) which is a league comprising of several area club baseball teams and takes place in the spring. In addition to the league will be play some exhibition games in both the spring and fall. To achieve our above goals of player development and success in competitive games, we will hold weekly practices throughout the school year. For more information please contact the club president, Paul Parashac, by email at pp395057@sju.edu.

Club basketball is designed for players who competed in high school and wish to continue playing at a competitive level. While there is no structured league we are a part of, we play a very competitive schedule. Games include local division 3 school, community colleges, prep schools, games vs Penn at the Palestra, and Navy at the Naval Academy. Tryouts will begin shortly after fall break.

We are a part of the Northern Division of the National Field Hockey League (NFHL) and play against many schools in the area as well as up and down the East Coast. The SJU Club Field Hockey team is a great way to get involved on campus and continue (or start) playing a wonderful sport. We are a competitive team but tend to focus more on having a good time while playing. If you are looking for a chance to play field hockey without the often stressing demands of a Varsity, D1 team, Club may for you. Please feel free to contact the SJU Club Field Hockey team with any questions or suggestions!

The SJU golf club is for students who have played in the past who are looking to play recreationally in college. This is the second year as an organized club team so many aspects of the club are still in the works. Practice is on your own time, but it is required that members go and play once a week. There are meetings throughout the semester that help to organize and advance the team. The club is looking for members who have the ambition and dedication to play on a school team. In the spring of 2009, the golf club became co-ed and now welcomes both men and women interested in pursuing the lifetime sport.

The team competes mainly against other local area teams, such as Temple, Drexel, UPenn, and Villanova. They try to be competitive while at the same time keeping things fun. This is their first full year in existence and they look to continue to build the club program and become more competitive.

Men's Club Soccer was founded at Saint Joseph's in the fall of 2008 under the guidance of Brendan Martin ('12) and Wes Harris ('10). The program, though in its first year, has great potential and a promising future. The pool of soccer talent at SJU is deep, giving us the top players, without asking of them the commitment of a Division 1 NCAA program. In its current state, the program is seeking to play in select indoor and outdoor leagues throughout the academic year.

Saint Joseph's University Women's Club soccer team is a way for students to play competitive soccer without the demands of a Division I team. The team plays to learn more about the sport, improve skills, and of course have a good time. Recently turnout each season has been extremely popular, causing the team to be more competive and skillful than ever before.

The Women's Club Soccer team was established in the Spring of 2006 and has now completed 6 seasons, playing outdoor in both the fall and spring as well as on an indoor league during the winter. They play various schools in the area, such as UPenn, Villanova, Drexel, and West Chester University and numerous others. This promises to be the best semester yet.

Saint Joseph’s University Club Swimming is a co-ed program that accepts all levels. The 09-10 season will be our third ever. We practice several days a week, and hold regular meets with other schools, including hosting our own as often as we can, we are always looking for new members who care about the sport and can help make this season the best yet, for further information contact James Pelletier at james.pelletier@sju.edu or Kelleigh Thompson at kelleigh.thompson@sju.edu.

The club tennis team was formed in the fall of 2005 and is open to both men and women students looking to play both casually and competitively. The club is active in the fall and spring semesters, including some court time indoors during the winter. Saint Joseph’s participates in the Middle States Region of the USTA sponsored Campus League. We have competed in tournaments and played several matches set-up through the Campus league against schools including Lafayette, Lehigh, Navy, Penn State, Rutgers, TCNJ, University of Delaware, UPenn, and Villanova. USTA holds a campus tournament each semester, and other matches are arranged accordingly throughout the semester. Club players are allotted court time typically twice a week on campus to practice (times may vary). Fees may include optional participation in the indoor courts.

Come out and learn the ultimate sport! This will be our third year being an official club sport at SJU and we keep getting better. No experience is needed to join the team, only the desire to work hard and have fun. This year we will be having both A and B teams. This is to let newer players develop their skills while letting more experienced players continue to compete at higher and higher levels. We are also trying to start a dedicated Women’s team up. We typically practice 3 times a week, and have tournaments and other events on weekends. We compete against other college teams all over the northeast and the country. You are only in college once enjoy it! We guarantee by joining our team, you will do just that! For more information about the club, schedule of events, other questions, please contact Matt Congdon, the club captain at mc374983@sju.edu.

The Men's Saint Joseph's Club Volleyball team competes in the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Volleyball Club (MACVC). Within this region there are six divisions Central, East, North, West, Northeast, and Non-Conference Opponents. SJU is currently in the East division along with other schools such as Villanova, Drexel, and Temple to name a few. Last year we had one of our most successful seasons ever, we made the quarter finals of the MACVC championship tournament and we finished second in the East. We are a very competitive, small team, always trying to become better. In the future we hope to become one of the more competitively strong team known throughout our Eastern division.

As members of the Northeast Women's Volleyball Club League (NWVCL), we compete year-round with club teams from surrounding universities and colleges.
