Sports & Recreation

As Andrews' motto, "Body, Mind, Spirit" affirms, physical development is essential to quality education. That's why Andrews University provides not only superior academics, but also an exciting sports and rec scene that will never leave you bored. Choose from P.E. classes like golf, scuba, racquetball, and wilderness survival. Head to the playing field Friday and Sunday for pickup soccer. Register your team for all-night athletic tournaments in several sports. And our year-round intramural schedule allows you to participate in competitive league and tournament play the entire time you’re here. The program features a full range of sporting options, including indoor and outdoor soccer, basketball, flag football, volleyball, badminton, fast-pitch softball, golf, and floor hockey.

If you’d rather exercise at your own pace, our on-campus network of athletic facilities gives you the freedom to enjoy the study break you deserve anytime. Lift weights, swim, or jog. Play racquetball, tennis, or basketball. And there's just as much to do off campus. Surrounded by forest preserves, rolling hills, and Lake Michigan, the beautiful Southwest Michigan area is ideal for all kinds of outdoor recreation. Whether you're into rock-climbing, skydiving, snowmobiling, backpacking, snowboarding, mountain biking, golf, or fishing, you'll find plenty to satisfy your recreational tastes within an hour of campus.

Finally, if you’re serious about honing your skills and representing your school, you’ll want to try out for one of the Andrews Cardinals intercollegiate athletic teams. As a member of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA), Andrews University squares off against other regional colleges and universities in basketball, ice hockey, and soccer for the chance to compete in national championship tournaments. As you can see, when it comes to sports and recreation, Andrews University is hard to beat.
