Sports Opportunities At Drew

As the end of the first academic semester is nearing, so has the end of a very successful field hockey season. We finished with a 12-8 record overall, making it to both the Landmark Conference championship game and the ECAC tournament. Being a part of an athletic team was an important aspect considered in my decision to attend Drew, and it has certainly has become a key part of my life. 

         It is not only the daily exercise and love of the game that I enjoy, but also the team chemistry and camaraderie experienced every day as you grow as a team. The ability to learn on and off the field from my teammates and coaches has played a large role in my growth as a student-athlete. The problem solving skills, ability to work with others, and friendships made are valuable aspects obtained when joining a varsity team.  

         Although varsity athletics are a large part of the community here, they are not your only athletic option. If you want to participate, but don’t want as big of a commitment, there are a variety of options to choose from. The weight room and gym is always open to students looking to improve their strength or fitness. Similarly, there are fitness classes offered each semester as an alternative option for exercise. There are both intramural and club sports offered that vary from table tennis and dance classes, to basketball and flag football. All of these activities are available to any student who wants to exercise or be apart of a team or individual activity.

         Whether you are interested in playing varsity or intramural sports the experiences, learning opportunities, and friends you will encounter while participating in athletics can enhance your overall experience at Drew.
