What is a varsity team?
Is it the same as a cluB?
Varsity sports are those in which players are involved in representing the University of New Brunswick in competition with other universities at the highest levels.
Club sports are more causal and have a lower commitment than a varsity sport. Our team competes with other universities across Canada and is not a club sport.
