NYU Athletics

Tear It Up!, an NYU Athletics tradition established in 2005, returns for the 2025-26 season! These events give new and returning members of the NYU community special opportunities throughout the academic year to cheer on their fellow Violets on the court, on the field, and in the pool. Tear It Up! Events will encompass all of our varsity programs, with Violets giveaways, food, and special guest appearances.

The first Tear It Up! event of the year is set for Friday, September 5 at the John A. Paulson Center, as our NYU women’s volleyball team plays its first home match of the 2025 season, taking on Gallaudet at 7:00 p.m. Students will receive a free t-shirt with their NYU ID card and all fans will have the opportunity for additional giveaways during the match. 

Check out our full schedule of Tear It Up! events below, and stay tuned to @NYUAthletics on social media for more information throughout the season!
