Terrace
Although Terrace isn't known for having a particularly sports-oriented membership — the only sporting equipment the club owns is a pool table — the club features an energetic core of crusaders in a few sports.
"We had a lot of people pretty into soccer this fall," intramural chair Jimmy Hoeland said.
Other popular intramural sports at the club include broomball and five-on-five basketball. Hoeland noted that interest in IM sports over the past few year had been slowly but steadily on the rise.
Campus
Campus sports several highly competitive IM teams, including a three-on-three basketball team and the reigning-champion bridge team.
While activities chair Dan Recht noted that the club was not overwhelmingly athletic, he thought Campus' lack of varsity athletes helped strengthen participation on the IM teams.
The club features two pool tables and a unique foosball table partly built by a member some years ago.
Tower
Although Tower only boasts rarely-used basketball and volleyball courts and a pool table (although the taproom dartboard is popular on party nights), the club prides itself on having high intramural participation that resulted in winning both the kickball and soccer championship in the past year.
But while Tower members might not be the most athletic group, many are fans. Tower member Kinder Noble embodies school spirit when she dons the Princeton Tiger mascot suit, and members turn out in force to support the varsity basketball team through the Jadwin Jungle.
Quad
Quad fields a wide range of intramural teams: "pretty much any sport they play," IM chair Rehan Shamim said. The most popular teams include broomball, kickball, ultimate Frisbee, softball and basketball.
Participation is strong; Shamim noted the club could probably field two or three broomball squads.
For interclub contests, Quad features two basketball hoops, two pool tables, a foosball table and a game room complete with several big-screen TVs and video game systems.
Ivy
Ivy fields several highly competitive intramural teams; the club claimed four championships last year. Among the most popular teams are football, soccer, basketball and broomball.
Kerry Willoughby, Ivy's intramurals chair, noted that the large number of ex-varsity athletes the club counts as members helped fill the IM squads.
Ivy also has a pool table and looks forward to getting green t-shirts as uniforms for their teams.
Cottage
Cottage has many varsity athletes as members, which one member said hurts participation in its intramurals program. The club is home to numerous football and baseball players. Thus, club members are, on the whole, fairly athletic, and a significant number can be found at Dillon Gym working out in the weight room or shooting hoops on the basketball courts.
Off the field and court, Cottage's members enjoy its pool tables.
Cap
Perhaps the most stereotypically-athletic club is Cap and Gown. It claims members from many of Princeton's varsity teams, including both men's and women's soccer, basketball, golf and track.
Cap also features a strong intramural program that benefits from its members' athletic prowess.
Sports equipment at the club includes an elegant pool room upstairs, ping pong tables, a volleyball court and space for wiffleball in the spacious backyard. Club members frequently take advantage of the facilities, especially in the spring.
Cloister
A large number of Cloister's members are varsity athletes, which dampens intramural participation, although president Pat McDonald noted that there was usually strong participation on the intramural basketball squad.
Interest in sports at Cloister runs high, and the club has a new basketball hoop and volleyball court as well as two pool tables and a dartboard. Additionally, games regularly find their way onto Cloister's TV.
"We watch football every week, and there's about 30 people here," McDonald said.
Still, the sports Cloister is most known for are water ones — swimmers and rowers maintained a friendly rivalry under the club's roof.
Charter
Charter features an impressive array of sporting and gaming equipment to keep its members entertained, including basketball and volleyball courts, a dartboard, two pool tables, a foosball table and a ping-pong table.
Although its members are not particularly sports-focused, IM chair Paul Chin said that the intramural volleyball and broomball teams are significant exceptions.
Tiger Inn
Tiger Inn ranks high in intramural participation, fielding teams in sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, flag football and softball. Intramural chair Michael Stephens said that TI has many multi-sport intramural athelets and added that club members frequently provide cheering sections for each other during competitions.
When members return to rest and relax after a hard competition, TI features a pool table and a foosball table inside the club.
Colonial
Colonial boasts a strong core of intramural athletes and consistently has strong participation on its teams. For the most popular sports at the club, such as soccer and broomball, the club often fields multiple teams.
"Colonial is highly sports-oriented and has a competitive nature," said intramural chair Ben Klaber, adding that pickup games of football or dodgeball on the club's front lawn are common and that members could always be found inside watching a game on TV.
Colonial has perhaps the most unique sports item of any club — a horseshoe pit on its front lawn.
