Follow the Hoosiers and our varsity teams, participate in our
nationally recognized recreational sports program, work out in our
state-of-the-art recreation centers, play intramurals, or take a morning
paddle on Lake Lemon. Whatever your choice, if you're a sport enthusiast,
IU is the place for you.
Big Ten Athletics
IU's 24 varsity teams give our fans more than 180 home events
to cheer at each year. You will not find greater enthusiasm than a crowd
of Hoosier fans. You can sign up to purchase season tickets to football
and men's basketball, and most other sporting events are free.
Fitness and Wellness
IU's recreational sports facilities include three indoor
pools and diving wells, an outdoor pool and sun deck, several gymnasiums,
strength circuits, indoor and outdoor tracks, jogging paths, weight rooms,
a sauna, aerobics and indoor cycling studios, and basketball, tennis,
badminton, squash, racquetball, and sand volleyball courts. We offer more
than 80 group exercise and mind-body sessions, ranging from yoga and
Pilates to step aerobics and Kickbo, which take place from six in the
morning to ten at night.
Intramurals and Club Sports
Whether you're into roller hockey, rowing, or rugby, we've got it here
for you. IU sponsors more than 32 intramural
sports and 50 club
sports. Put together your own intramural team or join a club and
compete against off-campus opponents.
IU Outdoor Adventures
If outdoor pursuits are your thing, you'll love IU Outdoor
Adventures. Get your friends together and sign up to go backpacking,
rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, or skydiving. Our long-distance trips go
to the California coast and the Florida Keys, while our local excursions
visit Bloomington’s Lake Monroe and the hidden caverns of southern
Indiana. IU Outdoor Adventures helped IU place in Outside
magazine's top 10 list of schools that "turn out smart grads with
top-notch academic credentials, a healthy environmental ethos, and an A+
sense of adventure."
