Given such a well-rounded program and a commitment to gender equality, University Sports provides ample opportunity for students to engage in different levels of competition for the purpose of enhancing their growth. Students who choose to compete in one of the twelve varsity sports are expected to focus on their academic progress first, persisting to graduation. In respect for this primary goal, coaches schedule practices around classes and labs, and they regularly monitor grades. Varsity student athletes are also expected to compete to their potential and to fully represent the values of Seattle University. Their athletic experience is integrated into their total educational growth preparing them for life.
Athletic participation is an integral part of their holistic education.
Students, faculty, staff and alumni are welcome to participate in club sports, intramurals, recreational activities, and in leisure education. Participation at any level provides for education, physical, social and emotional development.
