Club Sports at RCC provide opportunities for students to participate in a variety of sports and recreational activities. Each club is considered an organized club with an affiliation as a registered student organization on campus and a club sport. Club Sports are conducted under the direction of an assigned college staff member.

A Club Sport is formed by individuals with a common interest in a sport or activity to promote and enhance involvement in that particular activity. The basic structure of club sports, in general, allows student athletes numerous opportunities for leadership, decision-making, academic improvement, and retention. The actual success and strength of the club sport is dependent on effective leadership by the coaches, and the degree of involvement of its club sports student athletes.

Club Sport participants must be recognized as current students by the college at which they participate. Club Sport membership must also be approved by individual club guidelines, as well as by the college where the club is organized. Each student athlete must be enrolled for at least a minimum of six (6) credit hours during each semester of participation, and must maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least a 2.0 GPA in subsequent semesters, to be eligible to play on a team or participate in any team activity.

• A student’s GPA is a system-wide GPA, i.e., if a student has a 2.0 at one college it is considered a 2.0 at any college in the System.
• Students transferring from colleges outside of the VCCS enter with a “clean slate,” since grades do not transfer with credits.
• Students who have completed college credits while enrolled in high school dual enrollment classes must have a 1.75 GPA at the beginning of the semester of participation to be eligible to play on a team.

Softball

RCC’s women’s softball team was formed in March 2006 under the direction of Coach Reggie Brann, and sponsored by RCC’s president, Elizabeth Crowther. The intent of the RCC softball team is to produce scholar-athletes, young women who are winners on the field and off, and who are well prepared to succeed in life as well as in the four-year institutions to which they will transfer.
