Club Sports

Club Sports are advised out of the Office of Student Activities and are recognized student organizations that serve students’ interest in sports and recreational activities.  Club Sports are similar to other student clubs in their design and structure; however, additional policies must be considered for these groups due to their physical nature.  Therefore, all Club Sports must have a coach training in the sport or activity and take extra precautions during their events. Financial commitments are met primarily through student-sponsored fund raising events. Club Sports include the following:  

Breakdancing Club

This group meets weekly to practice the fine art of breakdancing and to learn some sweet new moves. It’s more than just dancing, it’s an appreciation of the culture associated with breakdancing, as well.

Martial Arts Club
The Martial Arts Club offers students an opportunity to learn and practice combat skills.  One of our own faculty is currently coaching and teaching weekly lessons on campus.  The classes are primarily for beginners and students are currently not competing outside of the College.   

Whittier College Cheer Squad
The purpose of Whittier College Cheer Squad is to build morale for athletic teams, to promote spirit on campus, and to instill pride in Whittier College. The squad is composed of sophomores, juniors, and seniors and practices an average of twice a week.  Tryouts are held in the spring for next year's squad. 

Whittier College Dance Team
The Dance Team strives to support Whittier College by participating at various athletic and non-athletic school events.  Practices are held three times a week, two hours a day, for the entire year.  The Dance Team performs stylized hip-hop and technical jazz routines, which are choreographed by professionals as well as students.  Auditions are held in the beginning of fall semester.  For more information please contact wcdanceteam@yahoo.com

Wickets and Bails (Cricket Club)

For those that enjoy the favorite English game. Wickets and Bails meets to watch cricket matches, talk about the sport and play a few games.

INTRAMURALS 
Whittier College sponsors a variety of athletic opportunities in the Intramural program for the entire college community. The Office of Student Activities advises the program, while the COR Club Sports Representative coordinates the Intramural Sports competitions. All students and staff are eligible to participate and almost all intramurals are co-ed. The sports offered at the time are volleyball, basketball, soccer and ultimate frisbee.
