John Cabot University Athletics and Sports
Study abroad and degree-seeking students alike will find it easy to stay in shape at John Cabot University in Rome, Italy. Participating in sports is an excellent way for you to learn about the cultures of your fellow students in a team or group setting.
From our Men’s and Women’s Gladiators Soccer Teams to on-campus classes in yoga, tai chi, salsa and belly dancing, free gym membership and skiing excursions to the Swiss Alps, you can participate in activities you already love as well as discover new ones.
John Cabot University Men’s and Women’s Soccer
Soccer is almost a religion in Italy and you’ll find that’s true at John Cabot University.
The
John Cabot Men’s Gladiators Soccer Team is one of 12 teams in the League of Roman Universities, which competes every year from September to May, playing a standard 11-a-side game.
The
Women’s Gladiators Soccer Team plays in the six-team Roman Universities League that play Calcetto (Italian five-a-side soccer).
Everyone is welcome to try out. The soccer season spans the fall and spring semesters; adjustments to the line-up are common as new study abroad students join degree-seeking students on the team. This constantly changing team dynamic provides a foundation for the development of new friendships among students from all over the world.
