Athletics and Recreation
UC Merced is only in its eighth year, and our Bobcats are already
competing in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics
(NAIA). Men’s and women’s basketball, cross country,
soccer and volleyball are the first eight UC Merced teams to
compete at that level. Visit
athletics.ucmerced.edu
.
If you are interested in another sport, there is a good chance that
UC Merced students who share your passion have formed a club
team. If not, seize the opportunity to form it yourself!
If playing a team sport is not for you, you can still benefit from
fitness classes and equipment at the Joseph Edward Gallo
Recreation and Wellness Center. Shoot some hoops on the
basketball courts or gather friends to play volleyball in the gym.
