Intercollegiate Club Sports

Discover the Next Level of Competition

At Lander University, Intercollegiate Club Sports bridge the gap between intramural and NCAA athletics. Designed for passionate student-athletes who want to represent the Bearcats in competition, our Club Sports programs offer high-level, team camaraderie, and the pride of wearing Lander’s blue and gold.

Unlike intramurals, which are recreational in nature, Club Sports are intercollegiate teams that compete against other universities, regionally, and nationally. Our athletes train, travel, and compete with the same dedication as our NCAA programs.

As part of the Lander Athletics Department, our Club Sports are held to the same standards of excellence, accountability, and Bearcat spirit. That means when you join a club team, you’re not just playing a sport, you’re becoming part of the Lander Athletics legacy.
