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.

compliance with NCAA Division III and Southern
California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference standards,

University of La Verne. For continued participation,
a student must be enrolled in a full-time academic
program and be making satisfactory

athletics if he/she meets all requirements for participation
as defined by the institution and NCAA
guidelines.
