Is it right if I don't use the article here?

"I think it's a good idea for school club to do so."

Thanks.

You need the there, because you're talking about a specific school club.

club is a singular, countable, common noun.

Therefore, it must have a determiner (a, the, my, your, ..., this, that, ...).
