Intercollegiate sports were prohibited at Emory University - Atlanta from its initial founding until the presidency of Warren Candler. Candler thought the practice "evil, only evil, and that continually." His principal objections were the cost of intercollegiate athletics programs, the temptation to gambling, and the distraction from scholarship. Candler was not unalterably opposed to athletics, however. During his presidency, he oversaw the creation of the nation's first model intramural program. This "athletics for all" strategy, which emphasized the physical and social aspects of student development and learning in conjunction with academic pursuits, rose to national prominence during the 1920s, prompting many other institutions to emulate it.
Today, the intramural sports program provides an athletic outlet for the entire Emory University - Atlanta community. Undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty and staff members compete in both competitive and recreational leagues including flag football, soccer, softball, and basketball. Club sports provide additional competitive opportunities that many students take advantage of. Unlike students that participate in intramural sports, those who participate in club sports compete against other colleges and universities. The club sports program incorporates instruction and competition. Club teams include crew, rugby, ultimate, ice hockey, lacrosse, volleyball, sailing, fencing, weightlifting, and equestrian, among others. Many students also participate in the Outdoor Emory Organization—an organization that sponsors weekend trips of outdoor activities such as rafting, rock climbing and hiking.

The volleyball team won its National Championship in 2008. A popular myth, even among Emory students, is that the university still does not have a football team because Robert Woodruff would only give money to the school on the condition that it never had one because his own son had died during a vicious football game.
