I can’t respond to club baseball or rugby, but my daughter (freshman at Elon) was interested in club volleyball. There are so many girls who play that they apparently have an A team, a B team and a practice squad! She decided it would be too time-consuming so she decided just to play intramurals instead.

She is also friends with several of the boys who played on an “unofficial” Elon ice hockey team. This team named themselves the “Noles” (Elon spelled backwards, lol) They had so much interest from boys who wanted to play that they had an A and a B team! For two years they played in a nearby adult league, and last fall they won that league’s championship. Having proven there is sustained and widespread interest in an ice hockey team, I believe they are now an official Elon club sport - or if they aren’t yet, they will be official next fall. (I think the only reason it took 2 years is that ice hockey is expensive, and Elon needed to be sure it wasn’t just a small group of guys that wanted to do this).
