Sailing Team

The Hamilton College Sailing Team is a competitive, student-led, club team in the MAISA College Sailing conference. We have a race team and a recreational/casual team, and we cater to whatever your experience level and commitment capacity is. In the fall, we practice 3-4 times a week and compete in regattas every weekend all over the mid-Atlantic. In terms of required commitment for the race team, going to all practices and most regattas is encouraged but not mandatory. We are a club sport, and while we hold ourselves to a high standard and are all competitive, we are also all very busy students. The mission of the race team is to give experienced people the opportunity to compete at a high level collegiately without it being all consuming (i.e. totally fine to skip practice if you have a big test or are just too busy). The recreational team has no requirements or expectations around commitment. Contact Sailing Team at sailing@hamilton.edu.

Ultimate Frisbee

The Hamilton College Ultimate Frisbee team is a group of people who is passionate about creating a fun, spirited, and inclusive space to play ultimate! We are an ever-growing, self-coached team that accepts players of all types of experience. Our team practices year-round. During our fall and spring seasons, we practice outdoors Monday through Friday for two hours. We attend several open and women’s tournaments each fall in the Northeast and have been known to take home a trophy or two. We continue our practices indoors two or three times a week during the winter months. In the spring, we compete in the Metro East USAU college series. Last year, our women's team made it to regionals, and the men's team made it to nationals in Texas! Off the field, the team enjoys many social gatherings and unique team bonding throughout the year, like team dinners, formals, hangs, and movie nights! Contact Ultimate Frisbee at ultimate@hamilton.edu.

Women's Club Soccer

The purpose of this organization is to give female students a chance to play soccer at a competitive level in an environment that is more relaxed than that of varsity soccer. Contact Women's Club Soccer at clubscr@hamilton.edu.

Women's Rugby Football Club

We are a part of the Upstate New York Collegiate Rugby Conference (UNYCRC), and we compete in both the fall and spring seasons. Rugby is a club sport, meaning that there are no try-outs, no cuts, and everyone plays. Contact Women's Rugby Football Club at hcwrugby@hamilton.edu.
