The Sports Club Council of UMBC (SCC) is a governing
club dedicated to the advancement of sport- and competition-
oriented clubs at UMBC. The SCC has been in place for
about 8 years, and now oversees 25 different club sports,
each a voluntary member of SCC.
 The
SCC is in place to act as both a liason between the
individual clubs and the Student
Government Association, and an individual entity,
to promote club level sports at UMBC, through the
Office of RecSports, under the rules of the National
Intramural, Recreation Sports Administration, but
primarily to provide an ongoing discussion and analysis
of rules and policies that affect clubs nationwide.
 The
SCC is made up of at least one representative from each
affiliated sport club. Meetings are bi-weekly, and announced
on the Calendar of Events.
At each meeting, upcoming events, pertinent concerns,
fund-raising opitons and policy issues are discussed
among the representatives of the sports clubs, executive
board and advisor of the SCC.
With the variety of sports affiliated with the Sports
Club Council, the campus community is presented with
not only opportunities for recreation, instruction,
and competition in more than 20 different sports,
but also an alternative to physical education, intramural
and varsity competition.
 The
level of competition varies from club to club; Some
Sport Clubs compete on a national level, practicing
3-5 times a week, while others offer a more relaxed
setting practicing only once or twice per week.

As you may know, the UMBC Men's Rugby Alumni were victorious over the current team 12-7 in a hotly contested 14^th Annual Alumni Rugby Game on Saturday, April 26^th , 2008. The Women had their 1st Annual Alumni Game and also won 36-12. Congratulations to us Alumni. As this past weekend was a huge success, thanks must go out to the Alumni, current players, Club Sports and Alumni Relations staff who helped organize, fund, or cook for this annual event. Thank you to everyone else who came out on Saturday!
Let it be known that UMBC RFC inducted Gerald Rusty Cross, UMBC Rugby Head Coach into the 2008 Hall of Fame.
Also, a huge achievement since last year's Alumni Weekend, we have raised $15,000 in our UMBC Endowment Fund for a Rugby Scholarship. However, we must reach $25k before the fund will begin to earn interest for the team. Thank you for all those who donated to the Endowment over the weekend. If you did not get a chance to donate, We ask that you donate now before the end of the fiscal year on June 30^th . Once the fiscal year ends, the current team will have to wait at least another 2 years before a scholarship can be awarded.
