Extracurricular sports club for college students is an indispensible part of students’ extracurricular activities, whose main functions are to compensate for the flaws of class teaching, cultivate students’ sports ability, reflect the student- centered educational philosophy and extend time and space of sports. Based on questionnaires and interviews, this paper studies the factors which currently restrict the development of college students’ extracurricular sports club. The result shows that the main factors restricting the development of extracurricular sports club include: lack of attention, inefficiency of management, lack of clear- cut job responsibility, shortage of funds, uncertainty of playground, insufficiency of qualified coaches and separation of extracurricular sports club and amateur sports training. Therefore, this paper proposes some countermeasures on how to promote the sustainable development of college students’ extracurricular sports club.
