The Boxing Club supports the physical, mental, and professional development of cadets through the discipline of amateur boxing. Members build confidence, fitness, self-discipline, and resilience while learning fundamental boxing techniques and competing in organized training and competitive events.

Since there is no Men’s varsity volleyball team at the Academy on which male cadets play. This club team provides an opportunity to play competitive matches against other colleges and universities for cadets who played volleyball in high school or are interested in the game. The program acts as another medium for cadets to stay physically active as Men’s volleyball is a fast-paced and intense game requiring high levels of conditioning and physical fitness.

The Dance Team seeks to promote school spirit, improve self-esteem, and offer an environment for cadets that are passionate about performing arts to share their creativity with the Corps. We perform at pep rallies, parades, and football quarter and half time shows and collaborate with the Windjammers Drum and Bugle Corp to foster morale and assist admissions and public relations in line with promoting team spirit and Academy pride.

The Women’s Wrestling Club provides cadets with the opportunity to develop technical wrestling skills, physical fitness, and mental toughness in a competitive and supportive environment. Through regular training, competition, and leadership opportunities, members build confidence, discipline, and resilience while representing the Academy and promoting the growth of women’s wrestling. Competitions include the Princeton Open, Muhlenberg Tournament, Wildcat Open, duals with USMA. This year the women’s wrestling team competed in USA Wrestling Women’s Collegiate Club Nationals in Iowa: all 4 who competed earned AAH which makes them CGA’s first female wrestler All-Americans. In addition, this makes CGA’s first national ranking for women’s wrestling. This team is the first women’s wrestling program in service academy history and first academy to host a joint academy dual meet (between CGA and USMA). We also participate in community service events such as a clinic at North Providence High School. This upcoming season we are working with the Ivy’s D1WW Clubs such as Colombia and Brown and the other service academies who just established clubs such as Air Force and Navy for local competition and seeking to go back to Iowa for Nationals and the “For Her Duals” this year.
