Club Sports
Stony Brook University also participates in competitive athletics through various leagues, associations and Unions not associated with the NCAA. Although not affiliated with the Athletics Department, these clubs fall under the purview of Campus Recreation. With over 25 Men's, Women's and Co-Ed teams, the sport clubs have embraced the new RED HOT Seawolves mascot and represent Wolfie well in competition across the United States and around the world. The Stony Brook Men's Rugby team is the first recorded athletic team to represent the Seawolves overseas, playing some of the toughest European competition against various Irish teams.
Some of the larger and more well established programs are:
Stony Brook Ice Hockey
Stony Brook Crew Team
Stony Brook Men's Rugby
Stony Brook University Soccer Club
Stony Brook Crew
In addition to the opportunities that Sport Clubs provide, the success of the program depends heavily upon the student leaders of each individual club. These student leaders must have the initiative and drive to handle administrative decisions regarding their club, as well as motivate club members to take part in various activities.

—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behaviour, attire, grace, learning and all their words aimeth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them.”
