Staying Connected

Email Newsletters for choice of sports

It's tough to stay up to date with everything that is going on with McMaster Athletics and Recreation. We will send you updates whenever the teams of your choice compete or have new interesting stories. You get to control how much content we send you, and for which teams.

Entrance into M Club

The “M” Club was launched in 2008 by a handful of community minded individuals who wanted to make a difference for McMaster University. The goal was to focus on raising money to fund Athletic & Recreation priorities, which largely included Athletic Financial Awards and Championship Funds.

Today the well-established program helps to support our Athletics and Recreation Department in our pursuit of excellence. Thanks to the program over 100 student-athletes receive support annually and we clinched our first football national championship. Most importantly one third of our student-athletes achieved an overall average greater than 80% in the classroom.

In the long-term, the objective is to build a club capable of providing Athletics and Recreation with the support not only to achieve its goals, but also to exceed them for years to come. In the near term, the objective is to build off our past success and to use the additional funds for Athletic Financial Awards, the expansion of our new Academic Success Program, and high performance training opportunities for our elite student-athletes.
