Men's Club Basketball Program — Founder & President

What This Was#

Western Colorado University had no men’s club basketball program. Kyle founded the first one and established the operating structure required for the organization to continue beyond his involvement.

What Building It Required#

• Founding — navigating university approval, club charters, insurance, and facility access to bring the program into legal and operational existence.
• Recruiting — building a roster from nothing: finding players, setting expectations, and creating a culture worth joining.
• Operations — practice schedules, game logistics, travel coordination, and the unglamorous administration that determines whether an organization functions.
• Budgeting — securing and allocating funds, pricing participation, and keeping the program solvent.
• Continuity — the real test: structuring leadership, documentation, and succession so the program continued after I graduated. It did.

Why It Matters#

The record demonstrates institution-building through approval, recruitment, operations, budgeting, documentation, and succession. The program continued after Kyle graduated.
