Intramural sports provide an opportunity for students, regardless of athletic ability, to participate in organized, competitive recreational sports. Leagues and tournaments are available each semester.
Sports clubs can be highly competitive while others are more instructional. With 31 clubs and 900+ athletes, many students find sports clubs to be a great way to participate in a sport without playing at a varsity level.
