About DAPER

DAPER serves the entire MIT community, offering opportunities for sports instruction and participation at all levels.  

With 33 varsity sports and over 800 student athletes, MIT supports one of the most competitive, most successful, and broadest intercollegiate athletic programs in the world. The Institute also features one of the nation’s most expansive club sports programs, with more than 2,000 participants and 34 sports that compete on the regional and national stage. 

Each quarter, MIT Physical Education and Wellness offers more than 50 sections and more than 25 types of instructional activity courses. As part of the General Institute Requirements (GIRs), every MIT student must earn eight points through courses and complete the swim test requirement. In addition, the intramural program offers competition in 18 sports, with nearly 4,700 participants from the MIT community.   

From dedicated student-athletes to casual users seeking fun and healthy recreational activities, we need your support during the MIT 24-Hour Challenge on March 13 as we continue to build on our tradition of excellence!
