must follow NCAA and Patriot League rules and regulations (Â鶹ÊÓƵ is a Division 1 school). Practices and games are mandatory and travel is required to play other universities. Some varsity sports might allow walk-on tryouts, while others purely recruit. Also, varsity sports usually require a full year commitment.

Intramural Sports are competitive sports played at Â鶹ÊÓƵ among other Â鶹ÊÓƵ students. There are 3 program offerings, leagues, tournaments, and one day events. Games are held on campus and no travel or practice is required.

Club Sports teams play other colleges and universities but are not part of NCAA or Patriot league. The teams are supported by the Recreational Sports & Fitness department and request funding comes from Â鶹ÊÓƵ, team fundraising, and team dues. Club officers are responsible for hiring coaches and scheduling games and practices. Club sports may not require a full year commitment.

The time commitment required varies by club, but most teams practice 2-3 times a week for about two hours and compete once per weekend during their competition season.

Try outs vary depending on sport, some of our programs host try outs while others accept all committed participants.

Unfortunately, you are not permitted to participate in Club Sports.

If the sport you are interested in is not active at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, applications for new clubs are accepted each Spring from Janaury 16th through March 1st for consideration the following year.

Students may use the application guide to help draft a proposal.
