Recreational sports at Earlham College are an integral and significant phase of the total wellness and fitness program. The primary purpose of recreational sports is to assist a majority of the community in acquiring a wide variety of leisure time skills. Recreational sports offer voluntary participation in team and individual sports and games; the desire to participate is of greater importance than skill level. They also offer the opportunity to participate in a sport without the time commitment of a varsity team.
All recreational sports teams are required to be composed of Earlham College students, faculty or alumni. All recreational sports events are co-ed. Team rosters vary from sport to sport, encouraging students to meet new people and build new skills. Groups that might form recreational sports teams include dorms, halls, houses, majors and special interest groups.
Groups or individuals are encouraged to add their names to sign-up sheets for Recreational Sports participation at the Athletics and Wellness Center Welcome Desk or Runyan Center Desk. Individuals without a selected team may give their names to the Recreational Sports Director. Organized meetings are scheduled for some sports and events.
