Could I join a sports club/team without ever playing the sport before? Are there like different level teams like in high school with varsity and JV? Also, if I did would people be super rude to me about it or just annoyed that I am not very good? I don’t want to mess up a team or anything lol I just feel like it would be fun, good exercise, and I could get good at it and I’m thinking like lacrosse, crew, or badminton.
You most likely wouldn’t be able to join the actual competitive teams representing the school without prior experience. However, there’s an active intramural sports league on campus that will take anyone regardless of their experience level. You could start your own team if you wanted, or join your dorm team, or just any team that has open slots and agrees to you joining. I never participated in IM sports, but to my understanding the majority of teams are in it for fun and would be willing to work with you even if you have no experience.
