The Lafayette Club Baseball team is a member of the National Club Baseball Association (NCBA), a competitive nationwide organization comprised of over 160 schools across the country. We play a fall schedule of roughly 10 games and a full schedule in the spring of roughly 20 games. In addition, we typically play in a fall tournament at a Double A stadium in Williamsport, PA and a Spring Training tournament in Tampa, Florida. The team is coming off of two of its most successful seasons, including several appearances in the NCBA’s Top 20 rankings, a conference championship, and numerous individual All Conference/All America awards. All are welcome to attend our tryouts in the fall; please inquire/sign up at the Activities Fair or contact the team President or Adviser for more information.

The Equestrian team is a dedicated group of women. We take weekly lessons with a coach, hold weekly meetings, and compete in 10-12 regional competitions a year. Our team has flourished in the few years since our creation, coming in second in our region two years in a row.

As a member of the National Field Hockey League, we compete against schools in our region and attend the tournament held each semester at University of Maryland. We practice and schedule games in both seasons and are the reigning champs in girls intramural floor hockey. We have a great time and are open to any skill level, so if you love the sport or want to try something new, come check us out!

The purpose of the Lafayette Gymnastics Club is to provide Lafayette students with the opportunity to be exposed to the sport of gymnastics. The club supports members who are new to the sport or have any skill level and with interests in either specific areas or in the overall sport of gymnastics. Finally we hope to provide additional instruction and education to those interested in cheerleading and tumbling elements. This will all be accomplished by active participation, learning, and teaching by certified coaches.

For the 2004-05 season the Club will be skating at the new Flyer’s Skatezone Rink in Bethlehem, PA. The team will also be skating against some very competitive teams–this is their first year with the Mid Atlantic Collegiate Hockey Association (MACHA) League.

We run about 3 trips a month including day hikes, camping trips, backpacking and even whitewater rafting. All levels of experience are welcome to participate. Trip suggestions are also encouraged.

Sailing Club

We are a competitive racing team, who competes against other schools in the New Jersey conference in weekly slalom and giant slalom races during the ski season. Our racers vary in their expertise. We hold practices twice a week, before and during the season. Our female ski team finished 3rd in the Mid-Atlantic Region last year and qualified for nationals. The male ski team has qualified for regionals two years in a row. We have also had 2 snowboarders qualify for nationals. No racing experience is necessary to join the team.

The Lafayette Snowboarding Club offers student skiers and snowboarders of all skill levels chances to hit the slopes during the winter months. We are a non-competitive group and our goal is to get as many people out on the snow as possible. Starting this year, we are offering free lessons to anyone who is interested in learning how to ski or snowboard, or anyone who wants to get better. Every year we take a trip to a northern resort; last year we went to Okemo and the year before we went to Sugarbush.

Last year, the men’s club soccer team became a bit more serious than it has been in the past. We have begun selecting players for games in attempts of making the strongest team possible. We practice twice a week in the Fall and play games almost every other weekend against nearby college club teams. We also practice indoors in the beginning of the Spring semester and play some games when it gets warm out. Club soccer’s a lot of fun and a great way to make friends fast.

Club soccer is a step below varsity and step above intramurals. Our player experience ranges from beginner to ex-varsity. We practice twice a week and have a few games per semester. It’s a great way to meet new people and have FUN while getting some exercise! We play our hardest each game but don’t obsess over wins and losses! Though the level of competition is somewhat high we take a relaxed approach to soccer and there are no tryouts or cuts.

The Lafayette College Women’s Softball Club provides female students with an opportunity to play softball competitively, and to enhance their teamwork and leadership skills. Members of the club will have an experience that is more intense than intramurals, but is less of a commitment than a varsity sport.

Lafayette Club Tae Kwon Do is a competitive Tae Kwon Do team that welcomes people of all skill levels. If you are a seasoned veteran of the sport, used to train when you were younger or are just interested in giving it a try we have programs for all levels. We have two excellent coaches from the New Jersey area who come to Lafayette to train us twice a week. We also set up other optional training sessions for members who cannot regularly make these meetings or are interested in expanding what they have learned in class. Belt promotions are available if you wish to advance through the ranks of Tae Kwon Do or you can just train for sparring competitions (controlled fighting). The club will typically go to four to five competitions per semester; these too are optional but recommended. We are a member of the Ivy Northeastern Collegiate Tae Kwon Do League (INCTL) and the National Tae Kwon Do Collegiate League. Most of our competitions are at the college level but two or three competitions a year are at the state level. This is a great way to get a good cardio workout and relieve stress so come check us out or look us up on facebook.

The Tennis Club is a club which offers tennis players of ALL skill levels the opportunity to practice between 1-2 times per week. It offers positions for players who enjoy intense competition (perfect for those who love to compete but don’t particularly like the obligations involved with being on a varsity team), as well as those players who would simply like to practice their game – no pressure, we just like to have fun! In addition, the club is affiliated with the USTA and belongs to the USTA Collegiate Middle States League, where at least three matches are held per semester against other colleges/universities within the league, as well as a league tournament at the end of each semester. We also play additional non-league matches throughout the year. Come check us out…we’d love to meet you!

Aflicktion plays ultimate frisbee almost everyday at 4pm on either the quad or March field. We participate in several tournaments at nearby schools during both semesters. While the scrimmages everyday at 4 are laid back, we often meet for more structured practices to learn plays, strategies and work on conditioning. All skill levels are welcome, anyone and everyone can play.

For players of all levels. Competitive spring season in the MACVC. Practices once a week during the fall and practices 2-3 a week during the spring. Looking for committed players who want to be involved in the club.
