Swing into campus life: Sports at Zhejiang University

Are you a sports enthusiast? If so, Zhejiang University will never let you down!

Here, you’ll find almost every sport you’ve ever wanted to explore—from the classic “big three” (basketball, football, and volleyball) to modern fitness activities such as bodybuilding and dance; from traditional Chinese sports like Tai Chi, dragon and lion dancing, and martial arts, to exciting water sports like kayaking and paddleboarding. With such a diverse range of courses, students truly have the opportunity to benefit and thrive.

Zhejiang University also offers abundant spaces tailored for sports lovers. Whether it’s the heated swimming pool at Zijingang Campus, the professional tennis courts, the Yinquan Gym, or the expansive football fields, each of ZJU’s seven campuses is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities to support a vibrant and active campus life.

Beyond physical education classes, ZJU hosts a wide array of dynamic student sports clubs—kendo, water sports, running, and many more. The university actively supports these groups, enriching students’ extracurricular athletic experiences. And of course, this includes the well-loved Baseball & Softball Association.

Baseball, beloved both in China and around the world, carries an infectious energy and unique charm. The ZJU Baseball & Softball Association has long been dedicated to promoting the sport on campus and representing the university in various competitions, such as the Cross-Strait University Friendship Games, showcasing the youth and spirit of ZJU students. In addition, the weekly training sessions provide a valuable outlet for relaxation, allowing me to decompress from my studies—whether through conversations with teammates or through the invigorating energy of practice on the field.

From the pitch to the swing, to the crisp crack of the bat, the green field captures both the sweat and the laughter of our players.

So why wait for a “perfect start”? Why not begin right now—run with us, swim with us, and play with us?

Come to Zhejiang University, where vast horizons await and learning pulses with life. The best start is never about waiting—it begins today.
