Athletics

The Indiana Wesleyan University athletic program is an integral part of the institution’s total education program, subject to the same aims, policies, and objectives as other institutional programs. The four core values of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics are Spiritual Growth, Academic Excellence, Leadership Development, and Athletic Excellence.

Memberships are held in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association), and the Crossroads League.

The Wildcat women compete in intercollegiate soccer, tennis, golf, cross-country, volleyball, basketball, softball, track and field, and swimming & diving. Memberships are held in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics), the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association), and the Crossroads League. Our co-ed competitive cheer team competes in NCA National Competitions as well as cheering at all home basketball games.

The physical education and intramural sports departments provide vital programs to the students as well. Lifetime sport participation is emphasized in the physical education instruction program, while the intramural sports program allows students to pursue leisure time needs and interests in an organized and competitive manner.
