Fitness and Recreation

Babson College Athletics offers 23 varsity programs at the NCAA Division III level, with most of its teams competing in the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC).  

Choose from over 15 club sports across three club tiers, ranging from highly competitive to more casual competition.

Intramural sports let you play sports and other games on a more recreational basis.  

There are so many ways to stay active, including going for a run or walk around campus. Plus, you have free access to exercise, dance, martial arts classes, and more.

The Len Green Recreation and Athletics Complex is where you’ll find the Staake Gymnasium with two full basketball courts and Lunder Fitness Center with all the free weights and machines you need to get in a good workout. If you prefer getting in your workouts in the water, Morse Swimming Center has free swim hours.

The Babson campus is also home to a variety of facilities, including eight hard tennis courts with lighting, softball field, rugby pitch, soccer field, baseball field, a turf field for lacrosse and field hockey, and a practice field.

Home to the Babson College hockey team, the Babson Skating Center offers skating classes, as well as public skate hours. Babson students skate free with their college ID. It’s the ultimate spot to embrace winter weather or to cool down on a warm spring day.

Arts

BabsonARTS offers a mix of performances, exhibitions, films, conversations, and more, allowing you to fuel your creative spirit and add your own voice to the conversation via the medium of your choice.

Community

Through the Community Action Program (CAP), work-study-eligible students can do up to 20 hours of community service per week and get paid for it through Federal and Babson work-study funding. The purpose is to provide Babson students with opportunities to engage in intensive service experiences with communities in need and through reflective activities, promote community engagement, leadership development, and appreciation of diversity. The program challenges students to participate in an extended and intensive service experience.
