Who We Are and What We Do

The Madison Sports and Social Club seeks to connect individuals who desire to participate in various sports-related activities and social events. Whether you are looking for a running partner, want to participate in one of our leagues, or find a group to watch a Brewers, Badgers, or Packers game with, you can turn to this Club to meet others who have a similar passion for your favorite sport or team.

How the Club Works

MSSC runs organized co-ed, recreational leagues, including the only co-ed flag football league in Madison that we are aware of. Flag Football is played in both the spring and fall, Kickball is played in the spring and summer, Volleyball is played in the summer, and sports like Dodgeball and Broomball are played in the winter.

Our Philosophy

We believe that sports should be about FUN, first and foremost. There is nothing wrong with wanting to win, but poor sports can ruin a game for everyone. We expect all members of the Madison Sports and Social Club to treat each other with respect and maintain the highest levels of sportsmanship at all times. Not all members will be on the same skill level, and our mission is to allow everyone to play and have a good time. We all make mistakes and we all have bad days. If you can laugh at yourself and have a smile on your face after you drop an easy pass or hit a volleyball into the net, it will make the game that much more fun for everyone, and that’s really what it’s all about. We also expect our members to realize that referees are not perfect, just like our players.

Code of Conduct

The Madison Sports and Social Club does not tolerate discrimination, racism, sexual harassment, unwelcome sexual advances, violence, threats, or any other type of behavior that may in any way make a member feel uncomfortable or threaten his or her health and well-being. We expect all members to treat each other with respect and abide by common rules of decency and good sportsmanship.

During play in organized games pitting teams against each other, all participants must refrain from taunting, name-calling, put-downs, intimidation, and violence toward teammates and opponents. Everyone makes mistakes, and we will not tolerate criticism or intimidation of any of our members due to differences in skill level or any other factor. Coaching, tips, and helpful hints are welcome, provided they are relayed in a constructive and friendly manner.

Any team name deemed offensive by MSSC may be rejected and the participants will be required to choose a new one.

All members are encouraged to report offensive behavior to the Club President, Patrick Fosdick, via e-mail at patrick@madisonssc.com. All reports will be kept anonymous and taken seriously, and appropriate action will be taken if deemed necessary, including, but not limited to warnings and revocation of membership.
