University of Vermont Athletics
The University of Vermont Athletic Department, with an annual operating budget of $21 million and 85 full-time staff, oversees programming in Intercollegiate Athletics and Campus Recreation. With a strong commitment to academic success, the intercollegiate program includes 18 NCAA Division I men (8) and women (10) sports with a history of significant competitive success. Presently, there are 425 high achieving student-athletes. The student body is physically active; approximately 85% participate in Campus Recreation programs and/or use recreational facilities. Campus Recreation programming includes Intramural Sports, Fitness Programs, Physical Education Activity Classes and Youth/Community Programming.
The physical plant includes a 25-yard natatorium, 3,400 seat gymnasium, 4,400 seat hockey arena, indoor track, indoor turf practice facility, Athletic Performance Center, Fitness Center, squash and racquetball courts, and multi-purpose activity areas. Fields include two artificial turf fields, a track and field complex, and 3 grass recreation fields. In 2016, the new soccer/lacrosse stadium opened.
Vermont teams, as members of the America E...ast Conference, Hockey East Association, and the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association, have distinguished themselves at the conference, regional, and national levels. In recent years, men’s and women's basketball, men’s hockey, and men’s soccer, and women’s track have advanced to the NCAA Tournaments with skiing winning the NCAA Championships most recently in 2012. Several student-athletes have achieved All-America and Academic All-America status. Many Vermont student-athletes have gone on to distinguished careers in professional sports, World Championships and the Olympic Games.
With no professional sports or other NCAA Division I programs in the state, the Catamounts are truly the state’s ‘team.’ Community interest and support is significant and the highest among our peers. Sell-out crowds at hockey and basketball games are common and reflect the high level of interest within the community and surrounding areas
