Meredith College fields teams in basketball, cross-country,
soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.
Meredith athletic teams participate in Division III
of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Division III athletics
offers student-athletes the opportunity to become well-rounded individuals
who successfully integrate athletics and academics. Student-athletes are
integrated into the student body, and they experience the full range of
college life. Division III athletics feature athletes who can receive only
academic financial aid and athletic departments that are staffed and funded
like any other department in the college.
Meredith College fully supports the Division III
experience that allows the student athlete to enjoy competitive sports and
other activities throughout their college years. Enjoyment, love of the
sport, and team membership serve as motivation for participation.
Athletes follow the same academic requirements and standards as other students.
