Club Sports in College

Hi fellow students! I want to keep active and join a sports club in college but I'm not super athletic. Can anyone tell me which is the easiest club sport to get into at college, for someone who's not really into competitive sports?

Hey there! Club sports can vary significantly depending on the college you're going to, but there are typically some sports that tend to be more inclusive and less competitive across the board. These usually include sports like ultimate frisbee, rowing, equestrian, fencing, and sometimes even quidditch!

Often, these clubs are willing to take on beginners and focus on improving skills and having fun, rather than intense competitions. While they do compete sometimes, these competitions are usually more fun and less high-pressure than traditional varsity sports. Many clubs also offer both competitive and recreational tiers, allowing you to choose your level of involvement.

However, it's worth noting that you should choose a sport you think you will enjoy and not necessarily the one that seems easiest. College club sports are a fun way to stay active, form friendships, and learn a new skill, and you'll get much more out of the experience if you're genuinely interested in the activity.

I also recommend checking out the intramural sports offered at your college. These are usually small-scale leagues organized within the college, where students form teams and compete against each other in a friendly and non-threatening atmosphere. Some colleges offer intramural sports for a wide variety of activities, and it's commonly a less serious commitment than club sports.

Lastly, don't forget to check out the facilities and classes offered by your college's gym or fitness center. Many of these centers will offer yoga, Zumba, rock-climbing, or other fitness activities that can keep you active without the competition.

Ultimately, choosing a sport to join in college is a personal decision and entirely dependent on what you want to get out of the experience. Remember, the ultimate goal is to have fun and stay healthy!
