The mission of the athletic program at ULV is to distinguish itself through the pursuit of excellence based on sound educational principles and practices that operate within the philosophy and guidelines of the University as well as those of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Division III, in both of which La Verne maintains membership. The programs of these associations provide an opportunity for students at the Central Campus to engage in a wide variety of intercollegiate sports at the team and individual level. The policy of the University of La Verne is to support the individuals and teams representing the University to go as far as their skills and good fortune take them. Over the years this has resulted in national championships as well as conference and regional championships in several team and individual sports.

The women have intercollegiate squads in basketball, cross country, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track, volleyball, and water polo. The men enter into intercollegiate programs in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, tennis, track, and water polo. In addition to fine facilities and equipment, the athletic department is staffed with qualified and enthusiastic coaches and certified athletic trainers.

Other colleges in the SCIAC are California Institute of Technology, California Lutheran University, Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, Occidental College, Pomona-Pitzer, University of Redlands, and Whittier College. In addition, La Verne competes against other independent colleges in Southern California as well as a number of the state colleges and universities. The total program is designed to meet student interests.

Student Athletic Eligibility. To maintain full compliance with NCAA Division III and Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standards, only full-time regular students (to be defined as traditional undergraduates, admitted through the Office of Admissions) shall be eligible for participation in intercollegiate athletics at the University of La Verne.
