The Ivy Varsity Network
A private, verified network of varsity athletes from all eight Ivy League schools, past and present.
- Brown
- Columbia
- Cornell
- Dartmouth
- Harvard
- Penn
- Princeton
- Yale
Why this network
Ivy athletes share something most alumni never will. For years you competed against the same eight schools, and often against the same people.
You know the names on the other rosters, and they know yours. There's a respect there before you've ever met. That doesn't end at graduation, but there's never been one place that keeps it together.
This is that place. It makes it simple to find the people who already get it, whether you're moving cities, changing careers, or just want to reach out.
What we can build together
The people in this network are going on to run companies, argue cases, treat patients, start businesses, and lead teams of their own. The habits that got us through our seasons, showing up, competing, carrying our share, don't end when the last season does.
Spread across every industry and city, it's easy to lose track of each other. Connected, we can open doors, make introductions, and look out for one another in a way few groups can.
We competed against each other. Now we can go further together.
What we're building, and what we're not
This isn't another app to scroll, and it isn't built to capture your attention and sell it. It's run by Ivy athletes, for Ivy athletes, as a way for all of us to find the people we already have something in common with, then go see them.
No algorithm
No feed tuned to keep you hooked. You see what your people post, in order, and that's it.
Built to get you in a room
The point is dinners, games, and meetups in the cities where members live. Screens are just how you find each other.
Verified, every member
Everyone is approved by someone who can confirm they played. That's what makes the directory worth trusting.
Your sport comes first
You live in your own sport's community, with its own culture, and you can still reach anyone across the league.
Your sport's network, and the whole league
When you join, your home is your own sport's network. It's a private site with its own directory, map, feed, and events, open only to athletes of that sport. Baseball players see baseball. Rowers see rowing.
You also have access to the full Ivy Varsity Network. Open your profile to the league directory and map, and any Ivy athlete in your city or field can find you. Your sport's feed always stays private to your sport.

Become a captain
Every sport's network is started and run by the athletes who played it. We're looking for captains to lead each one, from the first members to the first event.
It's a real leadership role with a real title, and the people who start it shape what it becomes.
Founding Captain
Leads a sport's network across all eight schools. Sets its tone, brings in the first members, approves new ones, and organizes events in the cities where members live.
Team Captain
Leads your own school's team within your sport's network. Brings in teammates and alumni, confirms who played, and keeps your program connected.
How membership works
Open to current varsity athletes and alumni of all eight schools. Every member is confirmed by people who played for the same team.
