Club/Recreation
Club sports at New England College are student driven. In most instances, this means that involved students serve as club managers or coaches. They are intimately involved in the budgeting process and encouraged to set goals for their teams. This also means that active club sports are a dynamic entity--changing with the various interests of the students. If you wish to start a club sport, the power to do so lies in your hands!
Ultimate Frisbee:
The New England College Ultimate Frisbee Club is one of the largest and most active organizations on campus with close to 80 members. The ultimate frisbee club has set up an intramural league, where teams from within the school play semester-long seasons consisting of a regular season, playoffs, and a championship. The intramural league has over 70 members total, and while it is a competitive league it also gives people the chance to have fun, make friends, and get active.
