NJIT fields 13 varsity intercollegiate sports which compete in NCAA Division II, the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference, Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association, Middle Atlantic Collegiate Fencing Association, and Metropolitan Swim Conference.

 The NJIT men's and women's basketball and volleyball teams play their home matches at Entwisle Gymnasium, the main facility in the Estelle and "Zoom" Fleisher Athletic Center. Entwisle can seat approximately 1,500 spectators. The back bay, "C gym," area can be sectioned off from the main floor, making the entire gymnasium area useful for intramural events, physical education classes, and campus recreation time, and able to host multiple events simultaneously.

 The NJIT baseball and men's and women's soccer teams play and practice at Lubetkin Field, a lighted, natural-grass campus facility immediately adjacent to the Fleisher Center. Lubetkin, which is also used for physical education and intramurals, contains a midfield scoreboard and press box facilities, with seating to hold approximately 1,000 spectators.

 Members of the campus community also have access to all of the other facilities in the athletic center. These include the fitness area (containing computer controlled biking equipment, Cybex resistance units, and an indoor track), weight room, four racquetball courts (which can be converted for squash), a martial arts/fencing center, and an aerobics/dance studio. A six-lane swimming pool is home to NJIT's men's and women's swimming teams, while the two varsity tennis squads host meets and practices at four lighted outdoor hardcourt tennis courts behind the building.

 NJIT also offers several intercollegiate club sports, including bowling, cricket, golf, judo, men's lacrosse and wrestling, with cross-country and women's water polo as planned additions for 2002-03. The Hazell Student Center houses six regulation bowling lanes. Intramural offerings include badminton, 3 on 3 basketball, billiards, bowling, flag football, racquetball, indoor and outdoor soccer, softball, tennis, triathlon.
