Play

Sometimes the best remedy for long hours in the classroom is to blow off steam on the field. Whether you’re looking for that Victory Royale, or holding up a trophy at the end of a season, CU Active and their partners work to provide you a necessary break from your studies. You’ve worked hard, now it’s time to play hard.
