Centenary College is a community of learners distinguished by a diverse student body, a dedicated faculty and staff, and stimulating educational opportunities. Centenary College is committed to a quality liberal arts and career studies education with a substantial international dimension to engage students in learning and prepare them for satisfying careers, successful lives, community service and lifelong intellectual pursuits.

Every coach’s mission is to provide the student-athlete with a competitive program and the opportunity to achieve excellence individually or as part of a team. The phrase “the teaching coach,” committed to the students, best describes our philosophy while maintaining a strong academic profile.

As coaches we serve as both educators and leaders. Centenary’s goal is to maximize the human potential of our student-athletes. Our holistic approach stresses the fundamentals of the games we play as well as the values of responsibility, discipline and commitment. We know that these principles will translate into victories, but more importantly, they will develop young people with character. Those who compete and graduate become true champions, for they will understand what it means to be committed to excellence.

At Centenary college we nurture and encourage true competitive integrity.

Our school adheres to a strict code of conduct from the recruiting process all the way to the NCAA championships. Our coaches, administrators and staff members all take an active role in monitoring and insuring our compliance with all NCAA, Conference, and College regulations.

Centenary sponsors 13 men's and women's teams at the Division III level, and our Athletic Department continues to grow. We remain committed to developing our Athletic Department into one of the best small-college programs in the country. With the help of our dedicated coaches, staff and student-athletes we can see that dream come to reality.

As a student-athlete, we will ask you to represent the college's intercollegiate athletics program both on and off the field with integrity, professionalism, and competitiveness. During your years at Centenary, you will be asked to make sacrifices, but these sacrifices will be well rewarded by relationships and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.

The intramural sports programs and activities at Centenary College are designed to improve health and physical fitness, encourage sportsmanship and build friendships. Various intramural sports and activities are scheduled throughout the year, ranging from paintball and hiking to flag football and basketball.

All students regardless of ability and experience are encouraged to participate in our intramural programs and activities.
