About the Athletic Department

At Point University, student-athletes are given a tremendous opportunity: to play competitively at the collegiate level while receiving a first-class education in a Christian environment. In the past ten years, Skyhawk athletic teams have won not only regional, but also national championships. Point University fields nine intercollegiate athletic teams. Students may also participate in the intramurals program throughout the year.  

Message from the Athletic Director

Point University’s primary mission is to educate students for Christ-centered service and leadership throughout the world. We look to achieve this mission through a student development model that emphasizes both curricular and extra-curricular programs that develops young women and men with disciplined minds who will lead lives of leadership, service and self-realization.

The Athletic Department exists as a support to the University's mission by offering extra-curricular opportunities for students to participate in intercollegiate sports activities that help them grow personally and socially. In particular, the Athletic Department enhances general life knowledge, skills and abilities, including physical fitness, self-confidence, leadership and teamwork.

The focus of the Athletic Department is the development of students—both those who participate directly in intercollegiate sports and those who, as spectators and fans, benefit from the camaraderie and community spirit that is created by a vibrant and competitive sports program. As an integral part of the overall educational mission, the Athletic Department reflects the values of excellence and achievement to which Point University aspires.

To this end, the Athletic Department measures its success by the extent to which its student-athletes develop as well-rounded women and men of intellect and character.
