Hello Broncos! We hope this newsletter finds you well. We have 22 competitive club sports teams at SCU that compete locally, regionally, and nationally against other universities. Each month during the academic year, we ask them to report what they have been up to, and those that submit information will be sent out in this monthly e-mail. Not every Club Sport will report each month.

Hey there, amazing SCU students! We're kicking off the year with a bang! Brace yourselves for a whirlwind of exciting events – from action-packed self-defense workshops and thrilling tournaments to belt testing and a whole lot more. Our practices started this week, but here's the scoop: we're ALWAYS thrilled to welcome new members aboard! No tryouts, no experience required, and no fitness level judgments. If any of this sounds fun, contact Lily at ljgreen@scu.edu or slide into our DMs on Instagram @scukarate. We're beyond stoked to share the dojo with you all. Let's make this year a martial arts masterpiece!

We are off to an amazing start! The swim team has been hitting record numbers for practice attendance these past two weeks. We’ve been able to host a myriad of events in order to enhance team cohesion. Our first swim meet will be happening on October 7th.

With all the hard work our team has been putting in, I have no doubt our Nationals roster will gain its first members.

With new players on the field, our captains Grace Knight, Kayleigh Vu, and Maddie Burns (currently abroad), along with our new coaches Declan Bernal and Chelsea Verhasselt (SCU Ultimate alums) have strategized the first few practices to focus on the fundamentals of throwing and cutting.
