Because clubs aren’t funded by the NCAA or Weber State, there are no scholarships for the athletes and each member has to pay a fee to be a member of the team.

Weber State offers 17 athletic clubs, but students are able to create new ones or bring back clubs that were once active like bass fishing, scuba and men’s volleyball.

WSU’s archery club practices twice a week, boasting both a competitive and noncompetitive team. For students who join the competitive team, they compete up to five times in an academic school year.

The baseball team plays around 25–30 times a year traveling to Montana, Arizona and anywhere in between. Baseball is apart of the National Club Baseball Association and won a national title in 2003.
