FAQ
Answers to All Your Inquiries
HOW IS YOUR TEAM FUNDED?
As of now, we're completely self-funded and are looking into grant/scholarship opportunities to aid us in paying for gym rentals, uniform costs, tournament fees, transportation, etc. We accept donations through our GoFundMe and are planning fundraisers directed to students at the University of Rhode Island.
WHERE DO YOU PRACTICE?
We practice at South Kingstown Recreation Center at 30 St. Dominic Rd. Currently, the University of Rhode Island won't allow us to rent out regular practice space in their gyms so we've had to make other arrangements. Everyone at the Rec Center has been very welcoming and understanding throughout the process of starting up this club and we wouldn't be the team we are today without their help.
IS THIS TEAM AFFILIATED WITH URI'S CLUB SPORTS PROGRAM?
At the moment, no. Campus Recreation has explained that since URI is classified as a D1 school and we currently have a D1 Women's Volleyball Team, they do not have to allocate resources for a Women's Club Team. This is why it has been such a long and hard process to start up this program in the first place. We are so grateful to those that have shown us support during our early stages.
