Starting a Club?

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of LW clubs has dropped to about 150 organizations from an alltime high of 270. Part of the attrition has to do with policy changes requiring clubs to combine or disband, rather than have duplicates.

How to Start a Club

There is now an opportunity for authorized residents to form new clubs as space has now become available. Residents can request an application from the Recreation Office. Staff will present it at a Recreation Committee meeting for approval.

Here are the steps:

• Find residents who would like to join.

• Make sure similar clubs do not exist. Recreation Department can provide information.

• Residents should pick up a New Club Packet or call the Recreation Department to have one emailed.

• Club founders should familiarize themselves with GRF Recreation policies, especially “Membership of Clubs and Facilities Reservations,” (available under the GRF tab on lwsb.com).
