Welcome to Merrimack College Athletics Club Sports
Merrimack College Club Sports programs are non-varsity, student-run organizations that are committed to providing a wide variety of athletic opportunities for our students. Club Sports at Merrimack play and practice using on and off-campus facilities and are members of various leagues competing against club teams of Division I and II schools. Our goal is to provide fun and competitive athletic experiences for all students regardless of their current skill and ability level. Through participation in our club sport programs, students will grow and develop intellectually, emotionally, spiritually, culturally, socially, and physically as they take on new leadership roles, meet new students, and improve upon their athletic abilities.
