Work Hard, Play Hard

of opportunities to run, jump, dive, kick and swing. Our fiercely fun, not-so-competitive
intramural teams attract more than 80 percent of Clarkson students. Show off
your stick work in roller hockey, shoot hoops in the pool with water basketball
or score a touchdown in touch football. There are more than 100 teams to choose
from
Intercollegiate Sports
Clarkson attracts the serious athlete as well, with its NCAA Division I men's
and women's hockey teams and 19 Division 3 offerings, including basketball,
soccer, cross country, lacrosse, swimming, alpine and nordic skiing.
Our men’s hockey team has made NCAA tournament appearances in nine of the past 12 seasons, while our men's baseball and lacrosse teams both earned a national ranking in the 2002-2003 season. The men's Nordic ski team won the USCSA National Championship that year, as well.
