Endicott’s Athletic Department believes that in concert with academic pursuits, intercollegiate athletics challenge students to develop life skills. Just as Endicott’s curriculum is enhanced by the internship experience, athletics give students the opportunity to form and test healthy life-long values and habits. Backed by committed coaches and faculty, Endicott student athletes push themselves to realize their academic and physical potential. While winning is important, a truer measure of success is evaluating how each student athlete prepares for competition and the success, failure, and conflicts inherent in sports.

The School of Sport Science and Fitness Studies and the Post Center, offer club activities in fitness and intramural sports. One of the unique advantages of Endicott’s size is the College’s ability to respond to students’ interests. Students in the Fitness Club, for example, work out three or four times a week learning new aerobic movements and steps. In addition, club members have the opportunity to lead and choreograph the classes. An Athletic Training Club is also offered. Yearly intramural and recreational events include flag football, volleyball, rugby, kayaking, floor hockey, 3-3 basketball, indoor soccer, softball, 5-5 basketball, arena football, ultimate frisbee, racquetball, tennis, powderpuff football, and pond hockey. Fitness activities include step aerobics, kick boxing, yoga, tae kwon do, women’s self-defense, circuit training, and butts & gutts. Club Sports include cheerleading, crew, dance, fitness club, men’s and women’s ice hockey, and sailing. For a listing of all College clubs, please see the Endicott College Student Handbook.
