Athletics

Southern Wesleyan University fields seven men and eight women’s varsity sports which compete at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) level.  SWU is a member of the 12-school Southern States Athletic Conference.  Warrior teams travel throughout Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Tennessee, competing against SSAC foes.

Student-Athletes are given the opportunity to excel athletically, academically, and spiritually.  Southern Wesleyan University Athletics is the home of numerous All-Americans, All-Region, All-Conference and Academic All-Americans each year.  Warrior teams have competed at the NAIA and NCCAA National levels, having won NCCAA National Championships in women’s basketball (2007) and baseball (2007). 

Warrior student-athletes have also traveled the world on mission trips reaching people for God’s kingdom in countries such as Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, and the USA.  Student-Athletes and spectators alike will continue to have pride in our Warrior traditions.
