It's All Here - Competition or Recreation
Get in on sports whether you are a serious athlete or a recreational participant. Both our NCAA Division III sports and our intramural programs are opportunities for you to stand out in whatever competition you pursue. While most of Gallaudet's varsity sports are affiliated with the Capital Athletic Conference, Bison football will be a member of the North Atlantic Conference effective January 2009.Participate in an intramural program that includes more than a dozen different team sports such as flag football, volleyball, basketball, floor hockey, dodgeball, and indoor soccer as well as individual competitions in racquetball, chess, and ping pong.
If you prefer staying in shape over competitive sports, the Field House facilities are the place for you. You will find a weight room, a swimming pool, a dance studio, racquetball courts, and a rock climbing wall. Outdoor facilities include tennis courts, track, and baseball fields.
