Club Sport Forms

While not all clubs are required to have an advisor, those who do may choose whether to appoint them as independent contractors in a volunteer or paid role. Clubs ultimately decided upon who they would like to serve as an advisor for the club, if they wish to have one.
Advisors who are appointed on a volunteer basis must complete a volunteer advisor form prior to scheduling an interview with the Club Sport Manager.
Advisors who are appointed on a paid basis must complete a paid advisor form prior to scheduling an interview with the Club Sport Manager.
Paid advisors must submit documentation for payment at the conslusion of every month they work. This includes a W-9, Independent Contractor Agreement and an invoice. All documents that require signatures (i.e. W-9 and Independent Contractor Agreement) must be hand signed in order to be accepted for processing. The verbiage in the Independent Contractor Agreement must reflect the pay and dates for the current month the advisor is being paid for.

Clubs have the oppportunity to use many of our illustrious facilities, including Murphy Field, Coffey Field and Lombardi Memorial Center Field House. In order to use these areas, clubs need to request facility space using a Club Sport Facilities Request Form. If the request is for a game, it must be submitted no later than the Thursday of the week prior to the game, as the Club Sport department schedules staffing for club games. Any non-game requests are needed at least one week in advance of the date the space is being requested for.
Following the conclusion of a Club Sport game, clubs are to report their scores using the Club Sport Game Score Reporting form. The club sport department takes a vesting interest in the performance of our clubs and wants to promote the success of them. Clubs are asked to submit the score of their contest within 24 hours of the contest, as well as provide any additional information, such as personal performances.
In order to ensure that club members have the proper documentation compelted to participate, clubs are required to complete an attendance form within 24 hours of their practice, home event, away event, tournament, race or meet. In the event of any issues, it is helpful to have a record of which members of the club attended any given event.
In an effort to ensure clubs are using their practice time correclty, clubs need to cancel any practice time they are not using at least 2 hours in advance of their practice. We want to avoid any potential situations of wrong doing with facilities that occur during club practice times when the club is not utilizing the space.
Towards the end of each semester, clubs complete Practice Request Forms to indicate the days and times they are available to practice the following semester. Practice days and times change semester to semester, and year to year, depending on the requests of other clubs and availability of our spaces.
Prior to all games, events and competitions, clubs are required to register their event with the Club Sport office using the Club Sport Event Registration form. The Club Sport office must be made aware of all competitions that clubs take place in so it can assist in marketing the events, updating the Club Sport website and are aware of club competitions.

Shortly after Spring Break, clubs begin working on a worksheet to layout their projected expenses and revenue for the next fiscal year. By completing the Club Sport Budget Worksheet, clubs will be approved for an operational budget for the next fiscal year, as well as a threshold of revenue they must meet. A clubs budget helps to determine the allocation they are eligible for during the next fiscal year.
In the event a club member is given approval to spend their own personal money on an object that will be paid for using club money, they may submit a Club Sport Reimbursement form. In order to do so, the club treasurer must submit the form on their behalf and include the receipt of the purchase that will be reimbursed.
Clubs are encouraged to run at least one fundraiser per semester. When a club's vice-president is looking to hold the fundraiser, they must complete a Proposal to Fundraise at least one week prior to the date of the fundraiser to ensure the fundraiser is appropriate.
Clubs looking to make purchases will need contact vendors to inquire whether they accept a Purchase Order. If they do, clubs will need to receive a quote for the items they are looking to purchase. Once they receive the quote, it should be uploaded using the Purchase Request form so the club sport office can create the necessary documents to send to Strategic Sourcing for a Purchase Order to be created. Any vendors who are not already in Strategic Sourcing's program will also need to include a W-9 and will be required to complete a RFI.
Once the club sport office receives the order, the club will need to contact the vendor to get an invoice for the order. Upon receiving the invoice, it should be uploaded using the Vendor Payment form so it can be paid.

When one leaves their position, whether it be due to graduation, study abroad or other reasons, the club must elect an individual to take their place.

Officers who are leaving at the end of the spring semester must have the form completed by March 31, while officers leaving at the end of the fall must complete the form by November 30.

In addition to the Travel Itinerary, the Travel Itinerary Addendum is meant to give the club sport deparment an understanding of where club players are going when traveling off campus.
Club Sport athletes who do not reside at Rose Hill, but have been approved by the club sport program to participate in their respective club sport, have the opportunity to have their Ram Van passes paid for.
