Student Clubs and Sports

Sports
All sports at Hammel are currently intramural, coed, and open to all students. They do not currently compete with any other teams, though that may change if there is enough interest in a showcase competition. Track and swimming are offered year-round, soccer in the fall and spring, softball in the spring and summer, and basketball in the winter and fall. Football is offered in the summer and fall.
