The UCLA Competitive Sports program consists of both Club & Intramural Sports and provides the Bruin Community with competitive, athletic opportunities. Each year, the Competitive Sports program hosts hundreds of home club sports events and thousands of recreational sports games which are managed by full-time professional & part-time student staff.

UCLA Club Sports:
Competitive teams run by student officers that compete against other universities. The majority of these teams compete in intercollegiate leagues external to UCLA. Each team sets its own competitive structure, offering both competitive and non-competitive teams. Some teams will hold tryouts in order to initiate cuts in order to determine who belongs on which level. Team members pay dues to compete for their sport and are provided campus resources to fundraise. Team leaders are also required to attend leadership and professional development trainings as put on by Competitive Sports professional staff.

Our program currently has 54 different teams and 2,700+ participants, with many teams qualifying for/winning their national tournaments year in and year out!

UCLA Intramural Sports (IM's):
Friendly or competitive sports leagues that Bruins can join with their friends & colleagues. IM Sports include many traditional sports (basketball, flag football, soccer) and many newer, more unique games such as spikeball, ultimate frisbee, or Esports. A once-per-quarter flat fee of $25 gives students an all-access pass that allows them to play as many sports as they want!

This part of our program operates 15 sports with over 5000+ unique participants in a given year. Teams embark in a 4-week regular season, advance to playoffs, and receive an official UCLA Intramural Champion t-shirt if they win it all!

Full-Time Professional Staff:
The Competitive Sports administrative team strives to develop our employees and students-athletes at a level that is unparalleled by any other department on campus. We work to develop leaders and continue to educate them on issues related to their individual focus as well as those that may not directly relate to them. We put resources into training them on risk management practices, financial practices, travel policies, event management, resume/career building practices, and networking.
