Message to Prospective Athletes
As a member of the NCAA at the Division III level, Virginia Wesleyan College cannot give athletic scholarships, and we recognize that our athletes are students first. In recruiting student-athletes, we look not only at athletic ability but also at classroom performance. In late February, 56 student athletes were honored at a basketball halftime for their Dean's List accomplishments this last fall.
In addition to their athletic and academic achievements, our athletes are engaged in the community too. Around campus they can be spotted cheering on other teams in competition or serving as campus leaders. Our athletes are also engaged with the Tidewater area through community service. Our men's basketball team recently served as mentors at Bettie F. Williams elementary school and helped the students in the writing club.
Our cross-country, baseball, women's basketball, women's tennis, golf and men's and soccer helped cleaned up a local church yard after a storm. The list goes on and on.
If you are not interested in collegiate athletics, we also have a growing intramural program. This year's sports include ping-pong, ultimate Frisbee, whiffle ball, tennis, kickball and basketball. I hope you will join us on campus soon – either as a student-athlete, intramural participant or spectator. Good luck as you complete your high school years and I hope to see you real soon.
Go Marlins!
Joanne Renn, Director of Athletics
