In addition to the steps outlined at the link above, prospective club sports will need the Club Sports Director’s approval as their University Advisor. To gain said approval, the prospective clubs will need to present before the Club Sports officers council. The presentation should include plans for the long term viability and growth of the club, the planned source of income for the club, the facilities the club intends to use, what league (if any) the club plans to affiliate with, who would be doing the instruction, a copy of the instructors credentials, and a plan for risk management.
