Club Sports

Overview

Club Sports are student run organizations that compete in intercollegiate events for various sports and activities. The Recreational Club Council (RCC) comprises over 50 club sports and serves as the oversight of them. Clubs are independently run and receive funding through the Undergraduate Student Government (USG), Graduate Student Government (GSG), donations, and dues paid by its members. Clubs generally practice several times per week with competitions taking place on weekends.

Participant Guidelines

All Club Sports participants must review and adhere to Recreational Sports facilities policies, RCC Constitution, and USC Club Sports Bylaws.

Accessibility & Non-Discrimination

This program is open to all eligible individuals. Recreational Sports operates all of its programs and activities consistent with the University’s Notice of Non-Discrimination. Eligibility is not determined based on race, sex [1], ethnicity, sexual orientation, or any other prohibited factor.

Individuals with disabilities who need accommodations to attend this event may contact recsports@usc.edu. We request that individuals requiring accommodations or auxiliary aids, such as sign language interpreters and alternative format materials, notify us at least 7 days before the event. Every reasonable effort will be made to provide reasonable accommodations in an effective and timely manner.

[1] In accordance with federal law, the membership practices of a social fraternity or sorority recognized by the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life are not subject to the University’s prohibition against discrimination on the basis of sex.

Purpose

To ensure a clear distinction between USC Club Sports teams and USC NCAA intercollegiate athletic teams, all club teams must follow the identification and branding requirements outlined below. This policy is supported by the University Trademarks and Licensing Department.

Team Names and Digital Platforms

When a USC Club Sports team shares a sport with an existing USC NCAA team, the word “Club” must be included in the club team’s official name.

This requirement applies to all public-facing platforms, including:

  • Team websites
  • Social media accounts
  • Digital communications
  • Promotional materials
  • Competition listings and team directories

For example, the men’s club soccer team must identify itself publicly as “USC Men’s Club Soccer,” rather than “USC Men’s Soccer.”

Competition Uniforms, Merchandise, and Apparel

Club Sports teams that share a sport with an existing USC NCAA team must clearly identify themselves as a club team on all competition uniforms. Teams must meet this requirement through one of the following options:

  1. Include the word “Club” as part of the team name displayed on the uniform; or
  2. Display the approved USC Club Sports patch in a visible location on the uniform.

Uniform designs remain subject to all applicable USC brand, trademark, and licensing requirements.

Merchandise and Apparel

All merchandise and apparel created for USC Club Sports teams must display the approved USC Club Sports patch or include the word “club” if there is an existing USC NCAA team.  It is not required to use the word “club” or have the patch if there is not a current USC NCAA team. This requirement applies to items including, but not limited to:

  • T-shirts
  • Hats
  • Sweatshirts and jackets
  • Warm-up apparel
  • Bags
  • Promotional giveaways
  • Other team branded merchandise

All merchandise must also comply with USC trademark and licensing requirements and must be produced through appropriately licensed vendors when required.

Implementation Timeline

USC recognizes that many Club Sports teams have recently purchased uniforms and merchandise. To support responsible financial planning and avoid requiring teams to prematurely replace existing items, this policy will take effect beginning with the Fall 2028 semester.

Teams may continue using existing uniforms and merchandise through the transition period. However, any uniforms or merchandise purchased for use beginning in Fall 2028 must comply fully with this policy. Teams are encouraged to begin incorporating these requirements into replacement purchases before the effective date whenever practical.

Compliance

Club Sports teams are responsible for ensuring that their names, digital platforms, uniforms, and merchandise comply with this policy. Designs should be submitted through the established Recreational Sports and University trademark approval processes before production or public use.

Failure to comply may result in the denial of design approval, restrictions on the production or use of noncompliant materials, or other corrective action determined by USC Recreational Sports in consultation with the University Trademarks and Licensing Department.

USC Club Sport teams can request access to the icon through our drive. If you encounter any issues, please contact moranjas@usc.edu.
