Intramural and Club Sports

Furman boasts one of the most active intramural sports and club sports programs in the nation. In fact, roughly two-thirds of the student body participate in intramural sports. This compares favorably to almost any college or university. Fraternities, sororities, residence hall groups and many other student organizations compete in intramural sports, including basketball, bowling, cornhole, flag football, indoor soccer, kickball, sand volleyball, soccer, softball, tennis, ultimate frisbee, and volleyball throughout the year. Championships are awarded and the games can be quite spirited. But if intramural sports doesn't quite satisfy your competitive itch, you can always try a club sport. One of the fastest growing segments of the university, Furman offers 23 sports for the students:

Aikido
Baseball
Basketball
Cycling
Equestrian (Dressage and IHSA)
Fencing
Golf
Hockey
Lacrosse (M&W)
Power-lifting
Rugby (M&W)
Soccer (M&W)
Swimming
Table Tennis
Tennis
Triathlon
Ultimate Frisbee
Volleyball (M&W)

Many of the participants in these programs take their sport as seriously as scholarship athletics. The teams are also well coached and organized. Most of the club sports at Furman are coordinated or coached by Furman faculty and staff, some of whom still compete and are recognized as top authorities in their sport.
