Intramural Sports/Sports Clubs

Intramural Sports, Sports Clubs and Intercollegiate Athletics programs provide a coordinated program of organized sports competition and physical recreation activities to meet student needs at every skill and interest level.

Intramural Sports is a structured, competitive program involving 36 men's, women's and coed activities with over 13,000 participants. Complementing this highly popular activity is the sports club program. Twenty-six recreational and competitive offerings for men and women attract roughly 1,000 athletes in activities ranging from archery, badminton, crew, roller hockey, and water and snow skiing to the traditional volleyball, lacrosse, rugby and equestrian events.

Intercollegiate Athletics

Although Intercollegiate Athletics at Davis benefits the campus by fostering school spirit, its primary role is to provide personal development opportunities for as many student-athlete participants as facilities and resources permit. Currently, the program consists of varsity teams in 11 men's sports and 12 women's sports. Membership affiliation is with the California Collegiate Athletic Association and Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Approximately 750 students compete on varsity teams each year.
