Athletics Mission Statement

Spalding University is committed to the education and growth of all our students in all aspects of their lives. Participation in athletic programs is a wonderful way to grow and learn throughout our lives.

The objective of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is to develop, in student athletes, leadership qualities and attributes through competitive athletics.

The athletic venue is a virtual classroom, a practicum in cooperation, self-control, poise, commitment, respect for authority, and selfless devotion to goals larger than individual success.

The athletic department, through an array of competitive opportunities for both men and women, will develop student-athlete leaders through spirited competition, fair play, thorough preparation, teamwork, dedication, and self-sacrifice.
