Ford Games - Good Fit
Physical education has been part of the Haverford experience since the College’s earliest days. As far back as the 1896-97 academic year, the course catalog described a “refitted” gymnasium, which included among its equipment “rowing, sculling, and wrist machines, chest weights ... and the necessary apparatus for the gymnastic game of basket-ball.”

Today, Haverford requires students to take six quarters of physical education to graduate. Participation in one of the College’s 23 varsity teams will fulfill that requirement, but there are plenty of other choices as well, including the badminton club. Photo: Rumming Li '22
