CLUB CONSTITUTIONS

Each sport club must develop a constitution suited to the practical operation of their club. A constitution outline is available online or from the Sport Club Graduate Assistant. The constitution must be easily interpreted so that club can operate consistently from year to year. If modifications are made to the constitution, a new copy must be on file in the Intramural/Recreational Sports office as soon as possible. Club constitutions may not conflict or supersede any of the policies or procedures contained in the Sport Club, IMRS, or University of Arkansas student handbook. The following elements should be included:

General Information: club name, purpose, dues, meetings, officer elections and duties, advisor and coaching duties.
Specific Information: membership and eligibility qualifications, officer qualifications, and voting and quorum qualifications.

A club’s constitution should be the “operating guide” on how the club should run, make decisions, and any other important matters that may arise.
