About SLC Surge

Athletics is an important part of the student experience at St. Lawrence College. Whether it be at the Varsity,Intramural, or Recreational level, there are a number of opportunities students and get involved with at all three campuses. Athletics and Recreation receives tremendous support from the College and each Student Government body for its importance to the overall student life experience while attending college. Varsity teams participate in the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) as the St. Lawrence College Surge with 8 teams.

Varsity Sports

St. Lawrence Surge varsity teams are consistently competing for a Provincial and National Championship in several sports. Playing at the varsity level is making a commitment as teams practice regularly during their season in-addition to team meetings, video review, travel and competition. However the skills gained in time management, problem solving and team work are extremely valuable outside the College, making student-athlete sought after employees.

Basketball, outdoor soccer, women's rugby 7s, men's rugby (15s) and volleyball are considered league sports within the OCAA where teams travel across Ontario, competing in a regular season schedule against other Ontario Colleges. At the end of the regular season, teams qualify for Crossover games where the winners move onto OCAA Provincial Championships followed by a National Championship (there is no National Championship for rugby).

All varsity sports are operated out of the Kingston campus. However, St. Lawrence College students are welcome to play on any varsity team on any campus.

Intramurals

For those not interested in competing at the varsity or extramural level but are still looking to be active and play sports, intramurals are your answer. Sports change during the year but can include basketball, volleyball, dodgeball, futsal. Leagues run each semester, are co-ed and include plenty of perks include SWAG, prizes and free food!
