Paperwork Overview
ACP Event Submission Form
This form is used to submit records of club activities towards ACP requirements in the categories: Alumni Engagement, Community Service, Recruitment & Retention, Sport Activity, and Cross-Club Support. A club photo, screenshot, or attachment should be included in all submissions. An ACP Event Submission Form does not need to be submitted for Sport Activities if there is already an approved Travel Request or RecSports facility reservation in place for the event.
Activity Schedule
Activity Schedule is an overview of all your Sport Club activities (competitions, volunteer/community service events, fundraising events, etc.). The schedule will help the Sport Club Staff assist each Sport Club and provide an overview of each Sport Club's year. An Activity Schedule is required to be submitted at the beginning of each Fall and Spring Semester.
Annual Budget
All Sport Clubs are expected to submit an estimated overview of their budget for the upcoming year. If the Sport Club office has concerns about the clubs financial stability, they will be required to submit a detailed annual budget to show how they will function fiscal responsible.
Annual Expenses
All Sport Clubs are expected to keep accurate records of their finances. At the end of each Spring, clubs are required to submit spreadsheets showing their expenses for each of the three accounts: Allocation, Student Org, and Donation. This information is used to help with reconciling accounts each year. Clubs also have the option to submit out-of-pocket costs and/or anticipated changes to their budget for consideration towards their future allocation.
Authorized Rep Contact List
Sport Clubs are required to submit information for at least three RecSports Authorized Representatives. These designated reps are the only club members authorized to conduct business with the Sport Club Office. This will be submitted each year, and as Authorized Representatives change (i.e., after elections).
Coach/Instructor Set-Up
This form is submitted annually over the summer for coaches and instructors. Both new and returning coaches and instructors should be submitted on the form. If a new coach or instructor position is created during the year, the form should also be completed. No coach or instructor can begin assisting the club until a background check has been completed and the club has been given approval from the Sport Club office.
Council Application
The University of Texas Sport Club Council is a vital part of the Sport Club Program. This form is used as an application for Sport Club members interested in joining the UTSCA Council. Each applicant will be required to submit their information, respond to some short answers, and upload their resume.
Equipment Inventory Form
An equipment inventory form for each club is kept on file. The Authorized Representatives are expected to conduct a thorough, hands-on inventory and complete the inventory form at the end of each year. As equipment is purchased or disposed of, the club is responsible for editing their equipment inventory form to reflect such. The Sport Club staff will monitor the equipment inventory list. Any unsafe equipment should be reported (returned, if possible) to the Sport Club office immediately. Once complete, please remember to upload it to the UTSCA Equipment Inventory Form.
Facility Request Form - Practice Requests
This request is for regular, recurring practice/workout reservation(s) for the club during a semester. This is just a request and does not guarantee the club the space. Once collected, the practice schedule will be reviewed by the Sport Club staff, with final approval by Facilities Staff. If you are trying to plan an event, please use the Special Event Request Form found below.
Non-RecSports Facility Information
All Sport Clubs that practice in non-RecSports facilities must complete the Non-RecSports Facility Information form each semester. The form gathers information about the facility for the Sport Club staff.
Online Store Product Request
To make payment for your club dues, fundraising, and entry fees, all clubs have the ability to collect money automatically from UT affiliated people via the RecSports Online Store. Each member can pay their fees via this method, and it is recommended over cash/check. To collect money for entry fees from an outside entity, please complete the UTSCA Online Store Product Request. For more information on how to use the online store, review this page.
Recruitment Event Participation Interest
This form will be used as a sign-up sheet for recruitment opportunities within RecSports. For other recruitment events on campus, contact the Student Activities office.
Returning Authorized Rep Handbook Review
At the beginning of each term, all returning Authorized Representatives will be required to complete a handbook review quiz about the UTSCA policies and procedures which includes changes that were made from the prior academic year.
Semester Report
An Authorized Representative must submit a Semester Report at the end of the Fall and Spring Semester for your club. Information collected will provide an overview of your club's activities throughout the semester and be used to produce data for the Sport Club Program.
WWF Key Access Request Form
Please submit a Key Access Request form to provide permission for members to check out the key at WWF. We limit the form to 5 people. If you would like to add more, please email utrs.sportclubs@austin.utexas.edu with a reasoning to why you club is requesting additional people.
Membership Packet
Each member and coach of a Sport Club must complete a Membership Packet. A membership packet must be submitted each academic year by each person. This will also be a place for members to become verified drivers for trips by submitting their drivers license and car insurance. As a reminder, a submitted membership packet does not equal an approved membership packet. Often, membership packets are returned to individuals for typos, bad file uploads, and missing information. Each membership must be approved by Sport Club Staff before appearing on a Sport Club roster. For more information, visit our Membership Eligibility & Responsibilities page.
Purchase Request
Creating a Purchase Request is the first step in the process of making purchase for your Sport Club. The requests provide the Sport Club staff the information needed about your purchase in order to approve it. It also helps keep track of expenses for the club. The Sport Club staff will be responsible for reviewing the requests, and reconciling them. We ask all clubs keep their own ledger as well.
Hosting a Special Event Request Form
Submit a Special Event Request for any non-recurring event (games, matches, tournaments, etc.) in Recreational Sports facilities. As a reminder, this is just a request. The Sport Club staff will review the request, and let you know when an event is confirmed.
Travel Request
A travel request must be submitted for each club every time a trip is located 25 miles outside of Austin. The travel request collects information (location, lodging, travelers, drivers, etc.) about the trip. If you are unsure on if your trip is considered Sport Club travel, see our policy here. The request must be submitted 7 days in advance of departure.
Transportation and Use of Weapons Agreement
This is part of your membership packet when you select Archery, Fencing, Trap & Skeet and Wushu. Weapons prohibited include, but are not limited to, firearms (i.e., handguns, rifles, shotguns, facsimile firearms--including laser tag toys); illegal knives (i.e., foil, epee, and sabre swords); clubs (i.e., wooden swords, staffs, bows, and nunchakus); and armor-piercing ammunition.
Transportation and Use of Weapons Agreement - Special Events
All weapons may be used only during a sponsored club event at the designated Recreational Sports activity area. This policy applies to anyone involved in a Recreational Sports sponsored event (students, faculty, staff, and visitors). Weapons must be transported in an appropriate carrying case at all times on University property. Under the condition that all participants agree to abide by these regulations, permission to use weapons needed to participate in specific sport club activities has been requested from the Dean of Students. Please complete this form well in advance of any event.
