The men’s hockey team, coming off one of its best seasons in the last 10 years, has made NCAA tournament appearances in nine of the past 12 seasons. The men's baseball and lacrosse teams both earned a national ranking in the 2002-2003 season, the same year the men's Nordic ski team won the USCSA National Championship.

Clarkson has 19 men’s and women’s varsity teams, along with more than 100 intramural and club sports and a wide variety of outdoor activities for the nature lover. After a long day in the classroom, the Clarkson campus offers all kinds of opportunities to run, jump, dive, kick and swing. Our fiercely fun, not-so-competitive intramural teams attract more than 80 percent of Clarkson students. Pursue your passion in sports like ultimate Frisbee, cycling, crew, rugby and racquetball. Show off your stick work in roller hockey, shoot hoops in the pool with water basketball or score a touchdown in touch football.

Clarkson attracts the serious athlete as well. With it nationally recognized NCAA Division I men's and women's hockey teams, and 10 Division III sports, Clarkson owns a rich, competitive athletic tradition.

If sports teams are not for you, but fitness is, Clarkson offers top-notch facilities to ensure students can exercise their bodies, as well as their minds. Our Indoor Recreation Center  houses a gym; 25-meter swimming pool; indoor track; a field house for tennis, volleyball or basketball; racquetball courts; weight room; locker rooms with Jacuzzi and sauna; and a fitness center.
