Intramural Sports

The Intramural Sports Program at Northwestern University strives to offer its students, faculty, and staff opportunities to recreate in a fun and enjoyable way. The program provides a chance for participation in sports in an organized, competitive environment while structuring the competition along various levels of skill. Intramural Sports should be looked at as a way to enjoy sports in an unpressured and fun environment. Intramural website: www.nuim.northwestern.edu.

Sport Clubs

The Sport Club program exists to provide the NU community with a variety of opportunities for personal growth and development. The Sport Club program offers the opportunity to compete in extramural competition against other clubs, schools, colleges, and universities. NU students must comprise the majority of membership for each club and serve as club officers; however, faculty and staff may also join.

All current and past participants in club sports are encourage to fill out the following Sport Clubs survey about their experiences and how we can improve the Sport Club program to make it better for the future.  Thank you.
