[quote=Anonymous]It varies but the general rule of thumb is that a "team" has some level of financial support from the school's athletic department and is formally part of the NCAA (or NAIA), whereas a club is usually a student-run organization and self-financed that may get some small amount of funding from the school's general activity fund (like the chess club, or the dog lovers club, or the college republicans or democrats). At my son's school, the club A team is pretty serious, with mandatory practices and game attendance requirements, and the B team is more 'school first, come out if you can'. Both teams had tryouts and the quality of play is actually at a pretty good level (my son said several of the club players on both the A and B side could have easily played college sports, but many opted to focus on academics rather than athletics in university).
