DANCE TEAM

|
|
|
Lehigh’s Dance Team is a hip-hop styled group who perform at a wide variety of athletic and student events throughout the whole year. One of the unique aspects of the LU Dance Team is that the members of our team have a variety of backgrounds from highly trained technical dancers to gymnists. Regardless, the common thread between all of the members on the team is a passion for dancing that shines through at every performance.
We are completely student run, creating and performing our own original choreography. Positions include a Captain, two CO-Captains, treasurer, and fundraising chair. Through practices, performances, competitions, and fundraising events the members of the dance team stay interactive on and off the campus.
We begin practice in early September, and run through late April, typically with practices four times a week.

Every member, including our coach is dedicated to making this team the best that it can be, both in and out of the show ring.
We are a member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) and compete in Region 4 of Zone 3. We have one of the largest and most competitive regions in the country. LUET competes at ten seasonal shows each year, and qualified riders are eligible to compete in Regional, Zone, and National Finals. The IHSA has divisions for all levels of riders who wish to compete, from walk-trot to three-foot fence classes. Our team is split between A-Members and B-Members where A-Team members are required to compete in the IHSA competitions, take lessons twice a week, and attend a team practice that will be held before every show. The B-Members are required to lesson only once a week and attend team practice.
However, if competition is not for you at all, we also provide a club alternative regardless of your riding ability or experience. Club members have the flexibility of choosing which LUET events to participate in while also providing support for their fellow members. Overall, we are looking for anyone who we can share our passion with for both horses and the sport! |

MEN'S RUGBY CLUB
|
|
"The only trophy we won this day was the blood and sweat we left on the pitch… and it was enough."
Rugby combines the beauty of soccer with the hard-nosed, physical nature of football into one amazing game. It takes intelligence, guts, and a high level of fitness to be a rugby player. There are fifteen players to a side each position has a unique role in determining the outcome of the game.
The Lehigh University Rugby Football Club prides itself on being one of the most competitive club teams on campus. We hold tryouts in the beginning of the fall semester to select our A-side team, which competes in the Eastern Pennsylvania Rugby Union - a subdivision of the Mid-Atlantic Rugby Football Union and USA Rugby. We also field a developmental B-side for new players to gain experience in a less intense atmosphere.
The spring semester is a great time to learn the game. We practice indoors during the cold months, focusing on the fundamentals and developing team continuity. We also train to improve individual strength, speed and endurance. As the weather improves, we resume outdoor practice in preparation for tournaments and friendly matches.
New members are always welcomed to join and are encouraged to embrace rugby as a unique learning experience. |

WOMEN'S RUGBY CLUB
|
|
The dedicated girls on the Lehigh University Women’s Club Rugby Football Club (LUWRFC) have been determined to improve their program every year. The team was founded in 1994 and has quickly become a competitive team in the area.
Together, the coach, veterans, and rookies go over the game and its rules during the first couple weeks of practice and then advance to more complicated drills. The team also elects a member to go through training in order to be a certified coach.
In order to keep the team organized, LUWRFC has five different leadership positions. The President oversees the team, paperwork, and practices, and she works directly with EPRU. The Vice President aids the President with these tasks. The match secretary contacts teams, schedules games, and ensures referees are notified. The treasurer handles funds and dues. Finally the Alumni Chair is responsible to keep in contact with past team members.
The girls of the LUWRFC are dedicated, are driven, and have fun. They love the sport and work hard to improve the team as a whole and themselves as individual players. They compete in both the fall and spring semesters. They end the spring season with the annual Prom Dress Rugby tournament, in which teams dress in ‘80’s prom dresses and end the year with laughs, good rugby, and fun. |

MEN'S SOCCER CLUB
|
|
Lehigh Men’s Club Soccer is one of the most prestigious, sought-after club sports at the University. Tryouts are required and are held before each season to give an equal chance to everyone while putting the best possible team on the pitch.
During the fall and spring the team practices 2-3 days a week and plays games every weekend. We currently have a 15-game schedule each season followed by the Regional Tournament to compete for a spot in nationals only in the fall. During the winter we practice indoors twice a week and play in an indoor league located in Allentown.
We have high hopes and look to build a team around group play rather than individual skill. We are always looking forward to build from last season. Players trying out should have many years experience and be fully committed to the team by making all practices and games. |

WOMEN'S SOCCER CLUB
|
|
|
|
|
The Lehigh Women’s Club Soccer team is a competitive club, holding tryouts early in the fall semester. The team practices at least two days a week with games on the weekends. Commitment to games and practices are required, but we understand occasional absences due to school work.
We play mostly home games and do not compete in Regional’s; however, we still pride ourselves on our successful seasons. The club is a perfect alternative for students that wish to continue playing soccer, but are worried about the level of play or time commitment of a Division I varsity team.
The girls are a team on and off the field. Whether participating in the annual Turkey Trot, holding pasta dinners, or dressing up for Halloween games; a fun and friendly atmosphere is one of our main priorities. |

TENNIS CLUB
|
|
| |
|
The Lehigh Club Tennis Team is a unique and fun way to compete while also having an easy-going way to enjoy the sport. Our schedule includes multiple tournaments and other matches allowing for our team to come together, travel, and develop new relationships.
The Club Tennis Team is one of the few co-ed teams that compete together. With a combination of numerous talents from both the girls and the guys side, the Lehigh team consistently competes along side the top of the other Middle States sectional teams.
In Club tennis, the students govern and run the entire schedule and season. This allows for the team to elect their own officers, schedule their own practices, and work at their own pace. Club tennis is one of the perfect opportunities for individuals to compete for themselves as well as the team. The dynamic of the Club tennis team has always been superb and allows for a laid back, fun approach towards both practices and games. |
MEN'S VOLLEYBALL CLUB
|
|
The Men’s Volleyball Club has a relatively long history at Lehigh, leading to a club with good organization and a tradition of excellence. The club typically holds a strong membership after the initial fall tryouts. Competing in the MACVC, the team travels to other schools near and far, competes in tournaments, and frequently participates in postseason playoffs. While intercollegiate competition is largely concentrated in the spring semester, volleyball is a year round involvement. We practice twice a week during both semesters, honing our skills in the fall for competition in the spring. During the busy spring season we play one to three matches a week on average both home and away.
Although competition is certainly a central part of any club sport, it is not the only focus of the Men’s Volleyball team. Despite being a competitive team, our team keeps fun a priority through occasional relaxed practices and by spending time together off the court, from simple meetings as friends to sponsored team-building events.
The club is completely self-reliant and consists of multiple administration positions. We look forward to your involvement! |
