The majority of students participate in some form of physical activity as Wheaton aims to provide a wide array of opportunities. Wheaton students have the opportunity to engage in sports and activities at a variety of levels. Wheaton offers 26 NCAA Division III Varsity sports as well as a variety of club, recreational, and intramural sports.
Our recreational facilities include the Haas Athletic Center, the Clark Recreation Center, Diane Nordin turf field, and the Pappas Fitness Center in the Balfour-Hood Center. Students can take advantage of these facilities, including the 40-meter pool during open recreation hours. Outdoor facilities include a running and walking path, basketball courts, sand volleyball court. Additionally, Clark Recreation Center offers a variety of sports equipment that students can utilize during open recreation hours. All facilities listed are intended to be used by Wheaton community members with a valid ID.
Wheaton’s growing intramural programs include basketball, floor hockey, pickleball, soccer, and volleyball while exploring new offerings to meet the interests of current students. Intramural sports feature low-key competition and high-spirited fun. A highlight each year is the Head of the Peacock Regatta, when fearless Wheaton students attempt to propel their homemade vessels across the college pond.
