Dedicated to excellence, Trent Athletics & Recreation is committed to providing opportunities for Trent students and the community at large to become involved in a wide range of sport, health and wellness opportunities to meet all ages and stages of sport and athlete development, with the objective of encouraging and developing a healthy lifestyle.
Trent student-athletes have competed in interuniversity competition for 45 years. Excalibur varsity student-athletes compete in lacrosse, rugby, rowing, soccer, curling and volleyball. The Excalibur coaches and 300 Excalibur student-athletes are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence both athletically and academically. Trent Athletics offers students a wide range of campus recreation programs in both the fall and winter terms with an average of over 1800 students participating each year.
The Trent Athletics Centre also offers community membership opportunities. When it comes to fitness and recreation the Athletics Centre, Home of the Excalibur, offers something no other community or university centre can – state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor facilities, an aquatics centre, all combined with access to the Otonabee River, diverse nature areas and kilometres of winding trails right at our doorstep. In addition, on the East Bank of campus, built in partnership with the City of Peterborough, there is a new baseball diamond and rectangular sports field for use by both Trent students and community sport programs.
