GW is not a sports enthusiast’s dream come true. There is not much school spirit at GW, perhaps because the University has no football team. The main sport is men’s basketball, but games only get packed when the team is doing well. A lot of students are apathetic about other teams, including the talented women’s basketball team. Most non-varsity athletes do not attend games other than men’s basketball, if that. Intramural sports are popular and pretty casual. Club teams are more competitive—the GW teams travel to other universities to play. People involved in sports at these levels say they have a lot of fun in the mildly competitive atmosphere.
GW tries to promote spirit among its students, but the efforts often fail. The women’s basketball team, which has a history of doing well, is basically ignored—almost no one attends games. Sports fans can attend outside games at the University of Maryland or watch one of several professional teams in the area. At GW, there are opportunities to play and watch sports, but if early morning tailgate parties before packed football games are what you crave, you better look elsewhere.

Well....
Students love the basketball team, but that's pretty much it.

Do We Even Have Those?
Sports really aren't too excited about them. Total lack of school spirit.

No Spirit
Basketball is our main sport here, but the student body doesn't even seem pumped up for the games. School spirit is a rarity.

Men’s and women's basketball, men’s soccer
Golf, gymnastics, water polo, and women’s basketball
Because GW athletics are not overwhelmingly popular, school spirit is definitely lacking. Although some students enjoy attending men’s basketball games, GW’s most popular sport, most rarely show up to cheer on the team.
