Clubs provide a great opportunity to continue to participate in a sport or interest, or learn a new one. The level of commitment required for clubs is lower than varsity athletics, so they are perfect for more casual participants. Sports clubs are also a great way to make friends and get involved in the Hopkins community beyond academics. All clubs are open to Homewood and Peabody undergraduates; some are open to graduate students. Contact individual clubs for details.
