[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder: Anime and Manga]]
* All of the teams in ''ThePrinceOfTennis'' are actually clubs, and their captains are basically the club president.
** The same happens in every sports anime/manga: [[SlamDunk basket]][[OniisamaE ball]], [[{{Touch}} base]][[CrossGame ball]], [[AttackNumberOne volleyball]], [[TheCherryProject skating]], [[CaptainTsubasa soc]][[InazumaEleven cer]], etc. clubs at school have similar dynamics.
* Minako's volleyball team in ''SailorMoon''.
** In ''Sailor Stars'', Minako joins Juuban's volley team. Meanwhile Seiya is in the American football team, Ami is in the computer club, and Makoto gets offers from several sports clubs (though she wants to go to the cooking club). One-time character Sonoko is the captain of the girls's softball team, too.
* Miki's tennis team in ''MarmaladeBoy''.
** Not only Miki's. Ginta is a member of the boys's tennis club, and his cousin Tsutomu is also a member of his school's own. Naturally this seeps in their rivalry, and HilarityEnsues. Meanwhile, Meiko is a member of the literature club and Satoshi's classmate Furutachi is the leader of the broadcasting club.
** Arimi is a membress of the track team in her and Tsutomu's school.
* The ''amefuto'' (American-style football) team in ''{{Eyeshield 21}}''.
* The Magic Users' Club in ''MahouTsukaiTai''.
* The school chorus in ''PleaseSaveMyEarth''. (Also, the "moon club.")
* The Auto Club (and dozens of others) in ''Manga/AhMyGoddess''.
* The Masculine Competition Society (and the "Megu Group" and the "Society to Protect Megumi") in ''TenshiNaKonamaiki''.
* The Society for the Study of the Modern Visual Culture in ''{{Genshiken}}''. In a subversion, the original ClubPresident is a seemingly powerless nonentity who barely attends. Mysteriously, he seems nearly omniscient at times; it's implied that this is because he has hidden cameras throughout the school for his nebulous research project. He never confirms or denies this, but just hinting at it is enough to blackmail Saki into joining the club.
** At one point, the president of the student council decides to cancel all non-active clubs which, beside Genshiken, include some ridiculous clubs like "plant watering club", "bucket droppers club" or "kneaders club".
* The Haruhi Suzumiya Brigade to Bring More Excitement to the World, or the [[AcronymConfusion "S.O.S. Brigade"]], in ''SuzumiyaHaruhi''is a deconstruction of the trope as it is not an official school club -- no advisor, no funds, and they meet in the literature club's room (The sole member of the literature club [[TheStoic doesn't mind]]). The reason for the club's conception is because Haruhi cannot find a club that suits her interests (mainly the supernatural). Later on, they become much more "relevant" to the school by offering counseling and investigation services for troubled students (most of which are set up by Itsuki to keep Haruhi preoccupied.)
** Not to mention the S.O.S. Brigade's wannabe rivals, the Computer Club, and their histrionic president.
* The go club in ''HikaruNoGo''.
* And, of course, the ''OuranHighSchoolHostClub''.
** And don't forget the Black Magic Club.
** The School Newspaper Club also makes an appearance
* In ''KeroroGunsou'', Fuyuki was the president and only member of Kissho Academy's Occult Club until Momoka joined. This was lampshaded in an episode where the school was going to disband the club unless they could turn up something interesting to present to the school.
* All members of the "Go Home Club" in ''KareKano'' are forcibly conscripted to participate in a play for the school culture festival.
* Sakura's cheerleading squad in ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura''. Meanwhile, her best friend Tomoyo is a member of the school chorus and at least two episodes are about ehr having trouble whie either practising her songs or getting ready for singing competitions.
** An episode of the anime has Sakura hanging around a girl from the track club, Rei, who has unadvertedly come in the possession of a Clow Card.
* Tamami's Occult Club in ''{{Mahoraba}}''.
* ''{{Hitohira}}'' focuses on two rival clubs, the Drama Club and the Drama Research Society. As in ''Genshiken'', it seems schools are uncomfortable with overlap, and the two must compete to stay official.
* The calligraphy club in ''{{Kamichu}}''. The club holds its activities on the school roof, because it has only one member and thus doesn't rate a club room. Competition to get members (and thus stay viable) is a common theme of high-school-club-based anime.
** ''Zegapain'' also has an example of the one-member school club, in this case, the swimming club.
* ''PrettyCure'' never forgets about clubs.
** ''FutariWaPrettyCure'' had Nagisa and Honoka as the stars of the lacrosse team and science club respectively, and in ''Max Heart'' they were both promoted to leadership of the clubs. Members of both clubs were recurring characters, and Nagisa's teammates Rina and Shiho were regulars.
*** Additionally, Honoka was technically a member of several other clubs as well, although she was rarely able to attend meetings because of time constraints.
** In ''FutariWaPrettyCureSplashStar'', Saki is the softball team's pitcher, and Mai eventually joins the art club after dithering about it for a while.
** ''YesPrettyCure5'' had episodes focusing on Rin and Karen which showed off an assortment of the school's clubs. Rin is as a founding member of the futsol team, and Komachi is a member of the library committee. Find ''that'' combination in another anime. Also deserving of special mention is Nozomi, who joined a number of different clubs and brought disaster upon all of them--Rin won't shut up about how she was kicked out of the drama club for a combination of massive incompetence and mass destruction.
** All the main heroines in ''HeartcatchPrettyCure'' are members of the fashion club (with Erika as the Club President), though they had some trouble getting it started due to a lack of members. In addition, Tsubomi is also a member of the gardening club, and then there's the StudentCouncilPresident...
* In ''GakuenHeaven'' nearly every character is a member of a different club. The main character is forced to visit every club so he can choose one to join.
* Karin Sasamori from ''ToHeart2'', also has a Mystery Club except that what she means by Mystery Club is similar to the [[SuzumiyaHaruhi SOS Brigade]].
* The Light Music Club from ''{{K-On}}''[[note]]which is derived from "keiongaku", which refers to light music[[/note]]. Yui was noted by Nodoka as having engaged in no after school group at all until high school, and when she did join the titular group, Nodoka initially assumed it was as a manager.
** In the beginning of the second season, the girls visit other clubs at the school in order to get ideas on how to attract new members. This includes the Judo Club, {{Go}} Club, Tea Ceremony Club, and Occult Club.
* All of the {{Mahjong}} clubs which take parts in the tournaments in ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' and it's spin-off ''Manga/{{SakiAchiga-hen}}''. Some certainly weirder than other but all with the finale in the nationals as their goal.
* The Astronomy Club in ''{{Sora no Manimani}}''.
* The Movie Study Club in ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'', aka "[[{{Lampshade}} YourTube]]". They don't actually study movies, instead filming funny short films featuring students and staff. This being a GagSeries, and its three main members [[ThoseTwoGuys Those Three Girls]], they get plenty of material.
* The Art Club in ''{{Sketchbook}}''.
* ''LightNovel/{{Bludgeoning Angel Dokurochan}}'': Dokuro-chan forms a student club called the "wood glue club". In this club, you watch white wood glue dry and turn transparent. She wants to make it to the nationals. It's implied that she physically tortured a teacher to approve the club -- the approval form is signed in blood and wet with tears.
* ''{{Eiken}}'' is named after the club the protagonists are part of, which is essentially [[ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything The Club That Doesn't Do Anything]].
* The Yamayurikai in ''[[LightNovel/MariaSamaGaMiteru Marimite]]'' probably falls under the {{Absurdly Powerful Student Council}} it's notable that several characters do double duty with other clubs. Rei is the {{Kendo Team Captain}} and Yoshino joins the kendo club in her second year. Touko is also a member of the Drama Club and while not formally a member of the Yamayurikai at the time, her agreeing to help them with their play at the SchoolFestival is a source of some conflict. The Photography Club also gets some coverage courtesy of Yumi's friend Tsutako.
** Similarly, in OniisamaE some of the Seiran High School girls are in these clubs whether they go or not to the Sorority. Kaoru is the star of the baskeball team, Tomoko is a member of the cooking club, and Fukiko says she is not just the StudentCouncilPresident but also a part of both the flower arrangement ''and'' the horse riding clubs. Rei isn't officially in any group but she's seen helping the girls from the Drama Club in the anime, and Nanako ''wanted'' to join the cooking club but being pulled in the Sorority ruined these plans,
* The Paranormal Investigation Club in ''TasogareOtomeXAmnesia''. It has no faculty advisor, it meets in an abandoned storeroom, and its founder and president is a ghost who's trying to find out how she died.
* The Curry Club in ''AmeNochiHare''.
* The Modern Society Studies Club in ''ElevenEyes'', founded by the already kind of crazy Yukiko. It makes a convenient cover for the club's activities in the Red Night.
* The Digidestined of ''DigimonAdventure02'' have referred to their group as the "Computer Club". It's basically a cover for their afterschool trips to the Digital World, using one of the school computers to get there. An early episode shows that there is a teacher who acts as the club's advisor - but he doesn't know the first thing about using computers and is a nonentity for the rest of the series. (His story purpose was to send Taichi to NotImportantToThisEpisodeCamp by forcing him to run interference.)
** Several Digidestined have their own club activities. Daisuke, Ken, Taichi and Sora are in their schools' soccer clubs, though Sora later switches to the tennis club.
* The [[{{Yokai}} Yokai Gakuen High]] from RosarioToVampire has a school club ''obligation'' because the yokai students have to learn about human culture, so they can conform in the human world. They main characters are in the Newspaper Club, lead by [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Ginei Morioka]]. Since they are involved in many fights and don't want that the other students know about those conflicts, they left the fights out in their newspaper. Also, nobody else tries to investigate the main characters. However, the other students still hear about some rumors that the Newspaper Club is involved in some fights, so it's one of the most feared school clubs. But it's also one of the most famous and most popular clubs, since most of the members are just beautiful.
** Since it's a school for [[{{Yokai}} monsters]], there are also dangerous clubs, like the [[OurMermaidsAreDifferent swimming club]], but besides the Hagure Yokai Gang ([[spoiler:also known as the ''Antithesis'']]) the most dangeous and most feard one is the School Security Commitee, lead by [[{{Kitsune}} Ku]][[PlayingWithFire you]]. The School Security Commitee is actually the school version of the mafia. But after the leader is defeated by [[spoiler: Tsukune]], nothing is heard about it anymore.
** Before the main characters entered the school, the Newspaper Club President Sun Otonashi was one of the strongest students in the school's ''history'', even Kuyou and Kyria feared her. Ginei joined the club because of her. But after Sun graduated from school, the Newspaper Club was taken down by the School Security Commitee.
** The supporting character Haiji Miyamoto is the Karate Club President.
* In KimagureOrangeRoad, Yusaku is a member of the school's karate club.
* In ''VisionOfEscaflowne'', female lead Hitomi Kanzaki is a member of the track team and has a crush on the star of the club, Susumu Amano.
* In ''Manga/GAGeijutsukaArtDesignClass'' the art club form an extra set of protagonists beside of the main five.
* ''Manga/TheWorldGodOnlyKnows'', being essentially a comedic deconstruction of DatingSim tropes, has several of the capture targets being club members: [[GenkiGirl Ayumi]] (track running club), [[ShrinkingViolet Shiori]] (book club), [[{{Tomboy}} Kusonoki]] (girls' karate club), [[SugarAndIcePersonality Tsukiyo]] (astronomy club) and [[LovingAShadow Minami]] (swimming club).
* In ''Manga/WJuliet'' the main characters Ito and Makoto meets when the later is joining the DramaClub. The club and it's members often play a role (no pun intended) in the serie afterwards.
* ''Manga/YubisakiMilkTea'' have a small collection with several friends of the main character, Yoshinori Ikeda, in different clubs in high school. Wataru is in the boys soccer club, Nogi is the captain of the girls basketball team and Kodama is in the art club. Meanwhile Hidari Morii join a newfound girls soccer team on her middle school. Yoshinori himself played soccer in middle school but dropped it when he got into [[WholesomeCrossdresser crossdressing]].
-->'''Nogi:''' Which club are you in?
-->'''Yuki (Yoshinori):''' The Go Home Club.
-->'''Nogi:''' Ha. The Go Home Club...! The worst kind of student... One who isn't in any club.
* ''Chu-Bra'' is about a middle school girl Nayu Hajama who starts an underwear club since she is a [[SeriousBusiness serious fan]] of lingerie. This proves controversial since most of the boys in school [[AllMenArePerverts draw the obvious conclusion]] while the head of the drama club simply dislikes both Hajama and her club. They do make friends with the manga club but the school still does not approve of the club for obvious reasons.
* ''Manga/{{Yuru-Yuri}}'' starts with three, later four girls who form their own amusement club in the room of the disbanded tea ceremony club.
* ''Manga/{{Yuritetsu}}'' is about a railway club - consisting of four high school ''girls'': Hakutsuru Tsurumi who likes riding trains, Mamiko Noto who likes photographing trains, Maron Ishizuka who likes railway station bento, and chairman Hatsune Hino who just enjoys her friendship with the others.
* The swimming club in ''Manga/KenkoZenrakeiSuieibuUmisho''.
* Subverted in the mangaka's comments in ''Manga/UsotsukiLily'' where the main characters have all sorts of reasons as to why they aren't in any club (job, dates, kendo practice, prefer reading, "sweating is tiresome"...).
* ''Manga/{{Ebiten}}'' have the boy Noya Itsuki joining the girls otaku club mistaking it for the Astronomy Club due to a spelling mistake. Even when they make put together pieces of a doujinshi instead of showing him star maps he don't realise it.
* ''Anime/MoretsuPirates'' has the Space Yacht Club.
* In ''[[Anime/CardfightVanguard Cardfight!! Vanguard: Link Joker]]'', Aichi tries to start a "Cardfight Club", though the [[AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil student council]] is [[MovingTheGoalposts dead-set against it]].
* In MahouSenseiNegima, some of the girls in Negi's class are members of the school's clubs: Asakura (Photography club), Makie (Gym tream), Akira (swimming team), Ako (CuteSportsClubManager for the soccer team), etc.

[[folder: Live Action TV]]
* The Kamen Rider Club is the unofficial version in ''Series/KamenRiderFourze'', their activities being "fight the Zodiarts". That is, until they get busted by one of the teachers mid-season, who proclaims that unauthorized clubs are not allowed [[spoiler:- so ''he'll'' be their advisor.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Video Games]]
* In any DatingSim located in a school, more than one possible love interest will be a member of a club. To have a bigger chance to get the girl/boy you're interested in, you can try joining the club they belong to or dropping by when they're reunited, to meet up with them more frequently.
** I.e.: TokimekiMemorial 1 has: Saki Nijino (baseball or soccer club's CuteSportsClubManager), Nozomi Kiyokawa (swimming team), Ayako Katagiri (art club), Mio Kisaragi (drama club), Shiori Fujisaki (school orchestra), Yumi Saotome (basketball club), Miharu Tatebayashi (reading club), Yuina Himoo (science club) and Yukari Koshiki (tennis club).
* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 3}}'', SEES is technically a school club with Chairman Ikutsuki as its advisor, but the fact never proves to have any particular significance and several SEES members are members of official school clubs as well: Yukari is in the archery club, Akihiko is captain of the boxing team, and Mitsuru is Student Council President. The player character can join a number of official and unofficial clubs, including Student Council; these inevitably provide Social Links with the classmates involved.
* The same is true in ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', in which the Strength Social Link is held either by Kou (captain of the basketball club) or Daisuke (captain of the soccer club); meanwhile, CuteSportsClubManager [[LovableAlphaBitch Ai]] is the Moon Social Link, and the Sun social link can either be Yumi (drama club) or Ayane (Music club).
* HouraiGakuen has ''plenty'' of these, ranging from normal sports clubs like tennis, baseball, karate, and the like, to weird ones like mad scientists' club and occult club. They function as the game's job system.
* Player characters in ''{{Disgaea 3}}'' can join after-school clubs for various benefits, including special abilities. Characters can only Magichange successfully with members of the same club. The President of each club gains stat bonuses based on the power of his subordinates and can use their spells when adjacent to them in battle. The only club initially available, the Going Homers, confers no special benefits but has the largest default size.

* Takeuchi in {{Canvas 2}} finds it very difficult to get Hiroki to call her anything ''but'' club president.
* ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'' has Nagisa working to reform the school's drama club, despite having no members and having pressure from the student council since the club itself barely have members, they have no advisor and are nearly as bad with organization and paperwork as [[Manga/KOn Afterschool Tea Time]] and as such the student council has to consider it a non-entity. When the drama club works out the issues (mainly by sharing an advisor with an instrument club), they encounter no more external problems.
* Near the start of ''VisualNovel/GakuenHeaven'' Keita has to go around and visit every single club as a "mission" from the head of the School Council and a large number of the characters either captain their respective club or are a serious member of it. Clubs include: a club for the vast majority of sports (such as tennis (which Naruse captains), judo (which Niwa used to captain) and archery (which Shinomiya captains)), the art club (which Iwai captains) and the crafts club (which Kazuki is a part of).
* In ''HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi'', Mion Sonozaki is the Class/Club President. The school is so tiny that she can get away with being both.
* Mayura from ''MythicalDetectiveLokiRagnarok'' has a Mystery Club.
* ''KatawaShoujo'':
** [[AbsentMindedProfessor Mutou]] and [[PlayerCharacter Hisao]] try setting up a Science Club during [[PluckyGirl Emi]]'s route. Emi herself is a member of the track team, alongside [[PassionateSportsGirl Miki]]
** [[CloudCuckoolander Rin's]] a member of the Art Club.
** Under [[SpiritedCompetitor Shizune]] and [[LargeHam Misha]]'s [[ClubPresident control]], the StudentCouncil suffers from ClubStub.
** Lilly organises SchoolFestival related activities in Act 1 for [[ClassRepresentative her class]]. [[ShrinkingViolet Hanako]] and [[ConspiracyTheorist Kenji]] take part in them if Hanako's route is being aimed for.
** [[ThoseTwoGuys Naomi and Natsumi]] are members of the school paper [[spoiler: and Hanako joins them in Lilly's route]]
* Nayuki's track team in ''{{Kanon}}''.
* The Literature Club in ''{{Crescendo}}'', with [[GenkiGirl Kaho]] as the club president.
