I was wondering how many schools are recognized as club sports by their respective universities and how many are just clubs. We have run into the problem of no other Texas universities have dodgeball clubs. This hurts our chances of getting aid from the university. Has anyone else had this problem?

WKU is a sport club. We have a whole Sport Club department and council, the council is allocated a certain amount of money from the university every year and it is the duty of the Sport Club Council to divvy up that money between our 23 sport clubs based on their performance the year before. Since we are a student organization it also qualifies us to receive additional funding from the student government. That's how we work.

the DePaul Dodgeball Society is a registered Club Sport, although i don't think our schools funding specifically discriminates between club sports and student organizations. We wouldn't be able to get free facility rental as a regular student org, tho.
I was on the DePaul funding board as Club Sports rep and the rest of the board was always surprised how much travel really costs. I always made the argument that the major purpose of most club sports are competition, and to deny funding is to deny their ability to operate.
perhaps you could make the argument that because the NCDA is the only college dodgeball league around, you need more aid to compete effectively in the only competitive option out there.

The NSULA Demon Dodgeball is a club sport and a student organization... and btw we are working on recruiting Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louisiana schools into the league if we can so we might be able to work together to recruit some new teams

with our university, in order to get practice facilities, you need to be a recognized organization within university recreation. the only way to receive funding is through university recreation as well, depending on the amount of community service, fundraising, participation in meetings, and performance in matches.
also, since it's our first year on campus, we can't receive any funding from the university, because they want to "test out the waters" with each new organization. so we are feeling the growing pains as well.

Also, there's a similar thread that was brought up last year details some thoughts about different team get their funding. A thread that ended before it's time.

GVSU dodgeball is a recognized club sport at GV. We operate a lot like WKU's team by the sounds of it. We receive funding from the school, but it can only go towards tournament fees, equipment (not including personal uniforms, so mainly balls and tape), and practice facilities (that are free anyways if the location is on campus).
The club sports department gets money allocated from the student goverment every year and they that money is divided up amoungst all the club sports. The amount of money each team gets is dependant on how much money they recieved last year, how much they used, and how many people are involved with the sport.
This year we received 863 dollars. Most which will be used for balls and nationals tournament fee since that's about all we are allowed to use it on. All of GV's "competitive" club sports recieved some amount of money between 500 and 4800 dollars for this academic year while the "recreational" club sports recieved between 0 and 900 dollars. The division of the two groups is if they compete against other school's teams the are considered competitive while only competing within our own school (ie. chess club and Quidditch club) are considered recreational clubs.

Hey if you need any Quidditch advice, I'm the guy... MSU is ranked 10th in the world right now.
MSU Dodgeball is a club sport. I know that Louisiana State (LSU) might be interested in forming a team, if there were more teams near them.

Hey. My name is Shadeed Drakeford and I'm about to get started a club dodge ball at Virginia Commonwealth University. Any advice or tips about the NCDA such as getting started, gathering people, setting up matches, getting facilities, raising money. Anything will be greatly appreciated.
