Join us for on- campus sports programs and enjoy less running around for practices, more freedom on the weekends, and more time focused on enjoying sports as part of an active lifestyle. Aim high, play hard, and laugh loud with AIT on-campus sports. (Practices are not held on school holidays or early release days unless indicated.)
