Academy Sports

Every Midshipman must participate in either a varsity or an intramural sport. There are 26 men’s and 12 women’s varsity teams and 13 intramural sports. Academy teams are very successful which is impressive when you realize that most of the schools with whom the Academy competes are much larger schools. Moreover, the other schools do not maintain the same high academic standards for their varsity athletes. Many parents have made the observation that a Plebe can get involved with a varsity sport even if they have never participated before.
 
Available club and varsity sports:

*women   ** men and women

The intramural program is equally extensive and also quite competitive. It pits companies against companies and battalions against battalions. It is a great way to stay in shape, vent frustrations and relieve stress.   Available Intramural sports: 

In addition to the varsity and intramural athletic programs, Midshipmen can join such club sports as bicycling, boxing, judo, karate, ice hockey, men’s and women’s lacrosse, power lifting, pistol, rugby, women’s softball and women’s tennis.
