Intramural Sports
Intramural sports are “non-varsity” competitions between students. They are fun, friendly, but challenging competitions which require no outstanding athletic skills. They are designed and offered to “everyday athletes.” Only a positive attitude is required to play.

Volleyball
Soccer

CLUB SPORTS
The Club Sports program exists to provide the Nicholls community with a variety of opportunities for personal growth and development. The program offers the opportunity to compete in extramural competition against other clubs, schools, colleges, and universities. Nicholls students must comprise the majority of membership for each club and serve as club officers.
