Where the action is
Alfred University offers a broad-based program of competitive intramural sports, co-recreational sports, and non-competitive general recreation. Fifty percent of our student body participates in one or more of these activities.

Facilities are available for general recreation whenever team practices, physical education classes, or intramurals are not scheduled and individuals are encouraged to seek open recreational opportunities to fit their personal work and class schedules on an informal basis.
