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.
