We have prepared this page as a guide to assist your club as it travels to Santa Clara for its event.
Campus Recreation and the Club Sports Staff welcome you to Santa Clara University. We hope that your club will find this information useful.

COVID-19 Protocols
Currently Club Sport programs are authorized to compete and must comply with the University's SCU Prepared mandates and Event protocols.
For all events we do ask if someone tests positive for COVID-19 within 48-hours of attending, to report this to the University by emailing covid19@scu.edu.
Entry Fee Payment Information
If you are participating in an event that requires a team/individual entry fee, all checks should be sent to the SCU Campus Recreation Office.

Participation Waivers
University-affiliated Club Sport Teams are not required to complete participation waivers. However, all Alumni who participate in Alumni game competitions must complete the Malley Facility Use Waiver. Club Sport Teams are required to submit the completed waiver post event.
Athletic Training Services
Athletic Training Services are not required for SCU Club Sport home game competitions. Should the individual sport National Governing Body require Athletic Training Services to be available, the team will secure the Athletic Trainer to be on site during their home game competition. Athletic Trainers scheduled to work will be on site one hour prior to the start of the event. The Athletic Trainer may or may not have first aid supplies available. It is recommended that all visiting teams bring their own medical supplies for taping if necessary. For those events that do not require an Athletic Trainer to be present, each SCU Club Sport team has two team member Safety Officers and all Coach(es) and Volunteer(s) Staff certified in Adult CPR/AED/First Aid to provide emergency care.
