Intramural & Club Sports

Intramural & Club Sports

BU’s 33 Club Sports range from badminton to water polo. From informal play to expert instruction and intercollegiate competition. They offer you a chance to grow, enrich your educational experience and—by the way—have a lot of fun.

Club sports can involve regular practice and a substantial time commitment. Many are coed and open only to undergraduate students. All are played at the FitRec Center. For more information and a complete list, go to Club Sports.

Intramural Sports are big—very big at BU. Every semester, more than 7,000 students participate in 15 different sports. Competition is informal but structured. The teams are coed, usually groups of friends from residence floors, academic departments or other student groups. Faculty and staff join in, too, which makes the action even more appealing to undergrads. There’s nothing as satisfying, they say, as spiking a volleyball against a faculty team from your own school or college.

Our single most popular intramural sport is broomball, with 110 teams competing each season. Think of it as ice hockey with no skates and a broom for a stick. A lot of BU students think of it as the most fun you can have on ice.
