Be a Ramapo Rowdy! |
Athletics at Ramapo College are an extracurricular activity and are secondary to a student's academic pursuits. Ramapo College offers a two-tiered sports program: intercollegiate and intramural.
On the varsity level, Ramapo College is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and subscribes to the Division III philosophy. Ramapo belongs to the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). Varsity sports are for those students willing to commit themselves to a program that encourages both individual and team excellence through daily practice sessions and a full season of competition.
Sports at the varsity level are as follows:
Women:
Basketball, Cheerleading, Cross-country, Field Hockey, Soccer, Softball, Tennis, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field, Volleyball, Lacrosse, Dance, and Swimming.
Men:
Basketball, Cross-country, Soccer, Baseball, Tennis, Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field, Volleyball, and Swimming.
Varsity Team schedules are available throughout the year to all students. Student support and participation are a vital part of life at Ramapo College. Current students are not charged admission to regularly scheduled athletic events and attendance is encouraged.
Recreation and Sports
Students interested in team sports at a less
advanced level may turn to an extensive
intramural program. Intramurals offer students
the chance to play on a team without the time
demands of intercollegiate athletics. All
students enrolled at Ramapo College are
eligible for the intramural program.
Information on intramural programs is
posted in the Athletic Center. The activities
currently sponsored through the intramural program are:
Flag Football, Volleyball Tournament, Bowling League, Basketball, Softball, Soccer. and Roller Hockey.
| How To Participate in the Athletics Program |
The intercollegiate program is the highest level of competition
offered at Ramapo. Many of the participants at the varsity level
have been recruited to attend the College. Opportunities for
participation do exist for the non-recruited student athlete
and trying-out is encouraged. To obtain information on a
particular team of interest, the coach of that sport should
be contacted at the Athletic Center or an inquiry made
through the Office of Athletics at (201) 684-7674.
Information on both the Intramural and Varsity athletic programs
are posted at the Athletic Center as well as on the College’s Web site.
