Farmington competes against schools in Maine such as Colby College, Bates College, Bowdoin College, the University of New England, USM, St. Joseph's College and others; and schools from outside Maine such as Plymouth State Univ. (NH), Lyndon State College (VT), Wheaton College (MA), Simmons College (MA), and others.

Club Sports
If you're interested in competing in sports at the collegiate level but just can't make the time commitment varsity athletics requires, then Club Sports may be a perfect option for you. Club Sports are student-led sports teams or sports-related organizations. Some Club Sports teams compete against other colleges and universities — others do not.

Fitness & Recreation Center
Open 7 days a week, year-round, the on-campus UMF Fitness & Recreation Center is the hub of student health, activity, and now — outdoor recreation.

• Fully-equipped weight room with free weights and machines
• A large cardio fitness area with equipment
• Three multipurpose courts
• 1/8 mile walking/jogging track
• 25-yard swimming pool

The Fitness & Recreation Center also offers group fitness classes for all levels and abilities (step-aerobics, spinning, yoga, pilates, water workout, etc.), professional fitness trainers, swim lessons, and more. It's also the home of our popular Intramural sports program.

And Now the Hub of Outdoor Recreation, Too
The UMF Fitness & Recreation Center is also the hub of our new Outdoor Recreation Program. It's where you'll embark on epic outdoor adventures, such as:

• Hiking Tumbledown Mountain
• Overnight camping at Gulf Hagas
• Whitewater rafting the Kennebec River
• Mountain biking the Carrabassett Rail Trail
• Skiing at Saddleback
• Snowboarding at Sugarloaf
• Snow-tubing at Black Mountain
• Snowshoeing on the Maine Huts & Trails System
• Geo-caching locations in Farmington

Intramural Sports
Intramural Sports are where you compete against (and play with) other Farmington students, usually after classes or in the evenings.

Most intramurals here are co-ed and they're a great way to get to know other students and take a well-deserved break from the books. Student participation in intramurals is big. And the fun is huge.
