Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Puget Sound encourages participation in athletics as a means of achieving a more well-rounded education and balanced lifestyle. Even the most talented, dedicated athletes at UPS—of which there are many—place their work in the classroom over their work on the field. But these athletes play as hard as they work; UPS boasts one of the best collegiate crew teams in the nation. The women’s basketball team made it to the Elite Eight of the Division III National Tournament. A number of school policies reinforce the value of academics—the school offers no athletic scholarships. But Puget Sound is proud of its accomplished athletes, and many of their award-winning sportsmen and women are honored with a spot in the University of Puget Sound Athletic Hall of Fame.

Many students participate in intramural sports. There are IM sports such as flag football, court volleyball, and racquetball, which are offered each year during four separate seasons (two per semester). The IM teams are formed to represent dorms, classes, majors, or just a group of friends who want to release some tension in the afternoon. Everyone at Puget Sound, including faculty and staff, is able to form an IM team, adding another level of fun to the games. Like the other athletes at UPS, IM athletes do not go without recognition; the University honors all teams who have won championship titles with the much-heralded Intramural Championship Awards.

Division 3 School

If you like big time sports with thousands of cheering fans on saturdays at the football games this place is not for you. You're lucky if you see 200. Keep in mind that this is a division 3 school, and not a very good one at that.

We have some Varsity teams that are very good, but it's mostly Crew and girls Volleyball. Our football team isn't that great. I don't really know anyone who goes to sporting events. Intramural sports however are extremely popular, especially ultimate frisbee. Also, the biggest Athletic club on camus Repertory Dance Group, or RDG is really awesome and our end of the semester show is the most attended event of the semester.

School Spirit

While students here may not be bustling with school spirit in the form of athletic cheers and clothing, people are very proud of UPS. Almost everybody has a high degree of respect for the institution overall, but real appreciation and loyalty is seen within departments, teams, and other clubs or social groups.

Getting Tickets

Most sporting events do not require tickets. When they do, they can be purchased at the gate.
