Varsity & Intercollegiate Athletics
http://www.lacollege.edu/athletics

The intercollegiate athletics program of Louisiana College has operated historically in strict adherence to a philosophy and purpose in harmony with and supportive of the College's identity and mission. The specific purposes of the athletics program include fostering healthy interpersonal relationships, inspiring a sense of spirit and pride among students, contributing to a comprehensive student recruitment program, promoting the emotional and physical well-being of students, fostering intellectual, cultural, and social development outside the formal instructional program. All of these purposes support the College's mission of striving to educate the total person.

Currently a member of the National Christian College Athletic Association, Division III, and the American Southwest Conference, the College agrees with and supports the attitudes, statements and regulations espoused by those organizations regarding standards of sportsmanship, ethic, amateur athletics competition, and fair play, gender equity, and the financial support, academic success, and health and welfare of student-athletes. The College is committed to working with these organizations as it strives to accomplish both specific purposes of the athletic program and the overall mission of the College.

Louisiana College sponsors varsity athletic teams for both men and women in basketball, soccer; baseball, football, and golf for men; cross country, tennis and softball for women. Varsity sports are offered through the Athletic Department. Students may attend games and meets free of charge. A minimum ticket fee may be charged for regional playoff games and preseason scrimmages.
