Club Football at SIUE

What is Club Football?
The SIUE Club Football Team is a student organization on the Campus of
Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville. As a student organization it is our
responsibility to provide SIUE students with an outlet for creative and
athletic energy. We are organized and run by the students in our club. It
takes exceptional student-athletes to create and manage a club sport. We
are very proud of OUR University and we will continue to push for nothing
but excellence from our players and our team.
Our Mission
To provide a healthy atmosphere where young adults can compete
alongside their peers in a game they love. We strive to field the most
competitive team possible while still remaining focused on academics. We
also strive to be a source of pride for ourselves, our families, the faculty and
staff of SIUE, and the university itself.
How are Club Sports different from
an intercollegiate team?
We are different from an intercollegiate team because our players are not
given scholarships. Our players pay club dues in order to play. Most do this
because of their Love for the game. We play NCAA regulation football but
are not part of the NCAA.
Who do you play?
We play other Club football teams from universities in the Midwest. We
also play junior varsity teams from local colleges and universities. We do
this to provide our players and fans more games.
What do I have to do to join the club?
Our organization hopes to provide an outlet for all of those people who
love the game of football and want to continue to compete in the sport.
While we do strive to win games and remain competitive, no one is turned
away. It is helpful to have prior playing experience, however it is not
required. All interested students are welcome to join.
