Sports & Recreation

Whether in the lab or on the field, WPI is a community of doers. We understand the importance of a proper work-life balance for healthy living, which is why we offer a wide variety of clubs, teams, and fitness classes to help you stay in shape, relieve stress, make friends, and most importantly, have fun.

From participating in a lunchtime yoga class held in our dance studios to taking over the pool for a game of underwater hockey, there’s something for everyone—students, faculty, and staff alike—to participate in at the Rec Center, or at one of our state-of-the-art fields, courts, or studios.

WPI has 20 varsity teams classified within the NCAA Division III. We enjoy membership in the ECAC, NEWMAC, FFC and the NECAC. WPI athletics has a long proud history and we have enjoyed our share of intercollegiate success in tournament, conference and national championships. We are equally proud of the accolades and awards bestowed each year on our student-athletes, including Scholar All-America, All-America, All-Region, All-New England and All-Conference honors.

Club Sports

Taking place during the traditional academic year (August-May), club sports give students the opportunity to join over 30 different sports teams ranging from ultimate Frisbee and rugby to ballroom dancing and pep band. Students are in charge of each team, thereby allowing students to develop and refine their leadership and organizational skills while working out, meeting new people, and having fun. Check out Club Sports on CampusLabs for a full list of teams, contact information, and forms.
