Rains Athletic Center

The Pomona-Pitzer Sagehens are an NCAA D-III athletics program shared between our two colleges. Our 21 varsity teams practice at Rains, which houses all of our regulation sports facilities, and is also open to all Pitzer students! Apart from spaces used by our varsity teams, Rains is also home to gyms and workout spaces for students to participate in recreational and personal fitness, and is where many of our club teams will meet and practice throughout the year. The Rains Athletic Center is undergoing renovations for an exciting remodel coming in a couple of years.

There are 10 men’s and 11 women’s teams: baseball (men), basketball, cross country, football (men), golf, lacrosse (women), soccer, softball (women), swimming and diving, tennis, track and field, volleyball (women) and water polo.

Club Sports

Club sports provide a recreational outlet for students in a competitive setting that is less formal and with a minimum of staff/faculty supervision. They also provide leadership opportunities for students through structuring and running a competitive and safe club sport. As such, club sports are a valuable part of the educational experience at The Colleges. The intent of the Club Sports Council is to preserve the atmosphere of these student-run organizations while providing a structure to assist with their viability on a smaller scale than intercollegiate athletics. Club sports include Men's Lacrosse, Men's Rugby, Men's Ultimate, Men's Volleyball, Women's Rugby, Women's Soccer, Women's Ultimate, Women's Volleyball, Badminton, Cycling, Equestrian, Fencing, Field Hockey, Roller/Ice Hockey, Tennis, Surfing.
