It’s the perfect way to meet new people, compete, stay fit and have fun! At Iona, our club sports teams compete in established regional and national leagues against other colleges and universities within New York, Connecticut and New Jersey. Teams also compete in Northeast regional conferences for the chance to play in the national championship.

Overview of Club Sports

  • Most club teams do not have tryouts. Some have roster limits due to league restrictions, but no one gets cut from the team due to ability or experience level.
  • Club teams practice 2-3 times per week.
  • Most clubs have 6-10 games per season.
  • Similar to high school athletics, club teams play and practice during a specific period each academic year. This allows students to participate in multiple club sports if so desired.
