Sports

A variety of high-quality sporting and recreational opportunities are offered by the Student Engagement and Development Office in a planned and secure setting.

Current active teams include:

Basketball
Football
Table Tennis
Volleyball
Badminton
Cricket

Additionally, competitions in sports such as athletics, swimming, squash, throwball, billiards, chess, bowling, and tennis occur several times a year. Teams and players are recruited for these competitions whenever an event is scheduled.

Sports Facilities

Access to various off-campus sporting facilities is made available to students by the Student Engagement and Development Office. When using the facilities and equipment, students must follow all rules and regulations set forth by the university. The University will provide transportation as needed to and from practices and competitions.
