Whether you like your competition fierce or friendly, you'll find your niche among Bridgewater's extensive varsity athletic and intramural programs. In addition, we offer an array of fitness and exercise programs through the Funkhouser Center for Health and Wellness.

Varsity athletics
Bridgewater fields nine men's, 10 women's, and two co-ed athletic teams. You'll compete as a member of the award-winning Eagles, and play home games at the Jopson Field Athletic Complex. Our intercollegiate varsity teams are part of the highly competitive Old Dominion Athletic Conference in NCAA's Division III. In addition, cheerleading is also available for both women and men, and we offer a dance team for women. One-fourth of our student body is involved in varsity athletics.

Intramurals
If you like to stay active but aren't planning to compete in varsity athletics, consider participating in a wide variety of co-ed intramural options including softball, basketball, flag football, dodgeball, volleyball, soccer, and ultimate Frisbee, as well as horseshoes, bowling, and racquetball. Nearly half of our student body participates in intramurals every year.

Equestrian Club
For those with a love for horses or a curiosity about them, our active Equestrian Club offers plenty of options. The team practices and competes at nearby first-rate indoor and outdoor facilities, in addition to Bridgewater's own college stables. Our award-winning team is considered one of the finest in the nation.

Health and Wellness

You'll have access to state-of-the-art equipment in the cardio center, including Life Pro-Series selectorized strength equipment, free weights, and an assortment of treadmills, elliptical cross trainers, and bicycles; a 2,000-square-foot aerobic studio; and cozy lounges.
