MIT - DAPER - Welcome

	Intercollegiate Athletics At MIT, exceptional students apply to athletics the same passion, drive and work ethic as they do in academics to reach their complete potential. Intensity and commitment to excellence fill the rosters of MIT's 41 intercollegiate sports, one of the largest programs in the nation. In the past 10 years, the Engineers have received 189 All-America honors, and sponsored individual national champions in seven sports.
	Physical Education Physical Education provides students with the instruction and skills necessary to lead healthy, active lifestyles and is a critical component of the educational mission at MIT. Courses are offered to the entire MIT community, regardless of skill and experience, and range from traditional programs such as introduction to tennis and beginning golf to emerging activities like backpacking and snowboarding to innovative academic/athletic partnerships.
	Recreation Fitness, aquatic and other programming through the Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center and the Alumni Pool and Wang Fitness Center are offered and exist, to serve the needs of the MIT community. The intense education curriculum is balanced by the physical fitness and stress relief provided by DAPER's recreational sport offerings, whose facilities feature three swimming pools, international squash courts, a skating rink, 10 acres of playing fields and sailing on the Charles River.
	Club Sports MIT features one of the nation's most expansive club sports programs with nearly 30 different programs. The passion that students, faculty and staff bring to their activities is nowhere more apparent than in the club sport program. Rosters are filled with graduate students who have the urge to compete at a high level, faculty and staff who enjoy the diversity of membership, alumni who are refining their skills, and undergraduates learning how to lead, organize and manage a team.
	Intramurals For students by students, is the motto of MIT's intramural sports program. Through the intramural executive council, managing a league, and organizing teams, students receive valuable lessons in leadership and team building while feeding the competitive spirit. Intense rivalries between residences, labs, and departments occur among 23 different sports, while groups compete for league championships and the overall crown of "Affiliation of the Year."
