Athletics and Fitness

The UMass Boston Department of Athletics offers intercollegiate athletics, intramurals, and recreation for the students, staff, and faculty of the University, as well as many services to the community. In fact, in 1999, 2000, and 2001 the National Consortium for Academics and Sports named the Department of Athletics at UMass Boston as #1 in the country for community service.

Athletic facilities at UMass are used by more than 150 school, charitable, government, and private organizations each year at little or no cost. In total, UMass Boston welcomes over 130,000 people from the community annually to use its campus athletic facilities.

UMass Boston also sponsors the National Youth Sports Camp, a five-week summer program serving 500 Boston youth, and the All-Dorchester Sports League, which uses facilities for soccer and basketball for hundreds of local youth.

UMass Boston Athletics also provides:

• Community memberships for the athletic facilities, offered at a reasonable yearly rate
• Sports clinics to neighborhood youth throughout the year
• Tickets to University sporting events distributed to community organizations for use by youth
