DoSportsEasy (DSE) is a platform that all teams are required to use in order to keep track of their roster and schedules. All participating members must be approved on DSE before participating in any Club Sports-related practices and/or events.

A team is in good administrative standing if they are compliant with all Club Sports and Northeastern University policies and procedures. This includes ensuring rosters are filled out and approved, schedules and events are reported to the Club Sports Office, attending mandatory meetings, healthy financial standing, and adhering to all deadlines. Executives should be in constant communication with the Club Sports Staff.

Each team must submit a Facilities Request Form by the communicated due date from the Club Sports Office. This is to let the CSO know when and where you would prefer to practice. Practice slots are assigned by the CSO and are shared with other sports teams. All requests are subject to change and are not guaranteed. Please see the forms listed on the Requirements tab. 

There are different forms each team needs to complete depending on the type of reservation.

Hotels – All hotels should be booked through Lucid Travel, if possible, however it is not mandatory. If teams are using Lucid Travel, they can search for the hotel they want and complete all the necessary information. Once completed that information will be automatically sent to the Club Sport Staff to complete the billing information and book the hotel.  The CSO strongly encourages use of Lucid whenever possible as Lucid offers 24/7 support toward hotel reservations. 

For all non-Lucid hotel bookings a meeting must be scheduled between club executives and the CSO. If accommodations are booked outside of Lucid Travel, it is the executive board’s responsibility to call the hotel at least 72 hours in advance to check for a Credit Card Authorization Form. Please ensure that your team is compliant with your sport’s governing body’s policy surrounding hotel bookings.

Vans – University Vans are available and free to use for all Club Sports teams. In order to reserve them, please use this Van Reservation request form (for game days, and out of state travel), or this Van Reservation request form (for Practice days ONLY). You must have a certified van driver for every 12 people who will be traveling. The primary contact person regarding University vans is Matt Ells. To view the live van schedule click here. Please be aware that University Vans are a limited resource. If no University Vans are available, teams will need to rent vans and should submit an Avis Van Request form to the Club Sports Office to book.

Flights – When a team needs to book a flight for competition, they must schedule a meeting the Club Sports Office to discuss a travel itinerary and assist in the purchasing of flights for the trip. Lucid travel now offers group flight rates and the CSO highly suggests utilizing this resource. In order for the CSO to make these purchases, we must have the event on file in DSE as well as a travel roster for the event, which states all participants attending full name as appears on identification and a birthdate. Ideally, a team will give the Club Sports Office at least one month’s notice or as soon as possible.

In order to drive a University Van, all drivers must meet the following criteria:

1. drivers must be 21 years of age or older
2. hold a valid driver’s license
3. have a copy of their driving record with a 3 year clean driving record
4. Obtain a certificate of completion for “online van certification” (see below for instructions)
5. Then book your “van certification driver test”
   • Once you have obtained copies of documents from steps 2, 3 and 4, please attach and send those 3 documents in ONE email to Chelsey at c.wright@northeastern.edu and request to schedule your in person certification test.

The Club Sports Office Staff is always available to answer any and all questions you may have and will try to accommodate all requests. Additionally, executives can direct questions or express concerns to the Club Sports Council — a body of select executives that serves as a liaison between club athletes and the CSO — via email.

The Club Sports Handbook is the best individual resource for any questions relating to the functions of a Club Sport at Northeastern which can be found under the “Resources” tab.

Any and all finances should be handled through the Club Sports Office. Student Activities Business Office (SABO), located in 433 Curry Student Center is also a resource that can be used for more information about your account. This is where all funds are deposited for any Club. Each team is assigned a unique Index Number. All purchases will need to be cleared through the Club Sports Office. Any purchase over $5,000 requires a purchase order which will need to be created by the CSO.

Our office provides all official Club Sports with an initial allocation, if eligible, and if they meet the University/department criteria. Teams also receive a roster allocation when they complete all mandatory compliance paperwork needed for the October 15th deadline including Risk forms, attend Fall Trainings, etc. In addition, all teams have the opportunity to secure an administrative allocation at the end of the year if they complete all assigned paperwork and meet all mandatory deadlines set in our handbook. Lastly, teams may receive an additional allocation if they qualify for nationals as recognized by their governing body.

If your team wishes to store items and equipment with the Club Sports Office, please submit a request to a Club Sports Staff member and each request will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Storage space is extremely limited and is not guaranteed.

 All Part-time coaches must submit their own hours on their Workday account after they are officially hired by Club Sports and will be paid biweekly if they submit their timesheets. We strongly encourage executives to communicate with their coaches and keep track of the hours they are submitting weekly in order to stay current with their account and to ensure hours are being submitted properly. Clubs are also responsible for paying fringe benefits for any hourly paid coach.
