Competitive Excellence. Cougars play hard, play with pride, and play to win.

Our student-athletes thrive in the classroom and on the field, dominating the competition while working hard to develop the skills that are necessary in sports and life. With 17 intercollegiate varsity teams and a range of intramural and club sports, there are numerous ways to get involved. Our fans are also an integral part of athletics at Clark. Catch a basketball game in the Kneller Athletic Center or cheer on the men’s and women’s lacrosse teams as they play under the lights. #RollCougs!

Student-Athlete Perspectives

Rachel Chen
The thing I like best about Clark is the people. I've made some of the best connections during my time here — with friends, professors, coaches, staff, and alumni.

Playing sports at Clark has helped me to grow both as a student and as a person. I have become more independent, self-reliant, and highly motivated.

The concept of 'team' is important here, especially the way younger players learn from the older players. My Clark experience has been great, and I credit my team for that.
