It's that time again: time to choose new Club Captains for the impending term! Club Captains will essentially run the club they are the captain for and come up with the plans for the term. Tryouts will be done before the beginning of each term, as to give everyone a chance at trying their hand at captain. Members can be captain more than once, but it is very unlikely that they will be captain for two terms in a row. We'd like to give everyone a chance to be captain!

If you'd like to be Club Captain for one of the clubs below, please send me an sMail with your application. Below is a list of clubs that we are offering this term. You may apply for a club not listed here by applying with our "Open Slot" application. This term, we will be limiting the amount of clubs that are added to the list using this open slot to 2 clubs, so really put some thought into your applications. Also if a club captain position is not filled for a club on this list, it is possible that it may not be a club for next term.
