The Department of Athletics and Recreation at the University of Waterloo was founded in 1957 with the mission to provide exceptional, diverse, and well-supported recreational and high performance sport opportunities for students within a collaborative environment that fosters the achievement of one's individual potential. As a recognized leader in U SPORTS and Warrior Recreation, we offer innovative and diverse programming that provides exceptional opportunities for our participants to build character, discipline, tenacity, teamwork and leadership-qualities needed to succeed academically, professionally and personally.
We offer one of the most broadly based interuniversity programs in the country with 32 varsity teams competing for provincial and/or national titles, 30+ sports clubs and a wide range of intramural and recreational opportunities and programming.
With past success both athletically and academically, and aspirations to build on our success in the future, supporting our student-athletes, Warrior recreation programming, and intramural participants is an opportunity for our alumni and friends to be a part our success.Â
