Intercollegiate athletics GC s intercollegiate athletic teams are not only a part of physical education but an integral part of the whole college curriculum. Intercollegiate athletics challenge the highly skilled athlete, enhance the health and well-being of all students and raise campus spirit. Because GC is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and the Mid-Central College Conference, all teams have the chance to advance to national competition.

GC s coaching endorsement program is certified by the state of Indiana and includes courses in exercise physiology, kinesiology, sports skills, basic athletic training and psychology of motor learning.
