Club Sports
Students who don’t want to compete at the varsity level but who still enjoy a good bout often become involved in club sports. Club teams compete with other colleges and universities. Some clubs are very competitive, some more recreational and all provide some instruction as part of the program. They provide an opportunity to compete and grow as athletes without the pressure of varsity sports. Check out our clubs:

Double Major: Art History and African Studies “I played varsity soccer in high school and realized that I wasn't going play in college because I was neither talented enough nor willing to make the time commitment. I did, however, make sure that Emory had a strong club sports program, because sports have always been a part of my life. “Emory Club Sports let me travel and compete against Division 1 schools. I like the competitive atmosphere—it’s a step up from varsity high school sports, but not to the point that it takes away from my studies. The social atmosphere is a totally unexpected plus as well. Through club sports I’m connected to a range of Emory students whom I would most likely not meet otherwise.”
“Since Emory does not have a varsity crew, our club replaces that vacancy. Rowing for Emory Crew has been the single best decision I have made while at Emory. There is nothing better than training with my teammates so we can win at every regatta we enter. Though crew has the ‘club sport’ title, it is no less completive than any varsity sport at Emory. We just won the UAA/URA conference championships in 2009. “I didn’t row in high school and started at Emory. It’s a sport that many start in college and, like me, get addicted to and continue well after their college years.” |
