It is up to the individual club, but club sports are usually open to anyone who is a registered student at The University of Akron.
To become a member of a club, contact the club to find out if it has tryouts or any other new member training.
Each club has its own set dues that each member pays. A majority of the club is run through self-generated funds, so individual members must pay dues as well as help with fundraising events.
