Club Sports
The Club Sport program managed by Mariner Recreation includes some of the fastest growing student organizations at Coastal Georgia. Club Sports are for students who seek long-term playing periods, in comparison to the shorter intramural seasons. Teams typically compete throughout both fall and spring semesters.
Club Sports are unique student organizations; the overall duties of the team, or organization, are fulfilled by students. They may be organized for instructional, recreational and/or competitive purposes. Club Sports help individuals build relationships with other students who share similar interests.
Current organized clubs include soccer, volleyball, and basketball.
For any questions or concerns contact Austin Siegel at asiegel@ccga.edu, or call 912.279.5813.

At Coastal Georgia, outdoor activities include programs like kayak tours, stand-up paddle boarding, bike tours, game trips, ropes course training, on-campus sand volleyball, nature hikes, rock climbing and alternative spring break trips.
Mariner Recreation recently added an outdoor fitness trail. The pathways starts on the west side of the Howard Coffin Building, loops around the lake and features an area with outdoor fitness equipment. From start to finish, the track is 1-mile and one lap around the lake is 4/10th of a mile. This addition is great if you’re looking to change up your workout or just want to get outside for a little fresh air.
Intramural sports are an integral part of Student Life at the College of Coastal Georgia. Most IM sports take place on our Brunswick Campus and hundreds of students come out each semester, either to play or support of their classmates. At CCGA, students find that intramurals are a great way to not only engage in physical activity, but to interact with their peers and build new relationships as well. 
Mariner Recreation is always seeking new ways to accommodate student requests and build a thriving campus community. If you have an idea about a new sport or have questions about current offerings, please asiegel@ccga.edu.
