Our Athletic Philosophy

Athletics are an important aspect of the Elms College experience. Our expanding programs provide opportunities for you to participate, compete, excel, and enhance your skills and knowledge. Our coaches are dedicated professionals with excellent credentials, including professional playing and collegiate coaching experience, who support our athletes both on and off the field.

At Elms College, we embrace the Division III philosophy, which stresses athletics that support, not compete with, academics. Here, it's possible to maintain a healthy perspective on the complementary roles of athletics and academics, and recognize that they both contribute to the development of skills and character you will use during your time at Elms College and for the rest of your life.

We're committed to enabling student athletes to have the best possible experience on our athletic teams - an experience that enhances their learning, growth, and personal development. Our student athletes make a commitment to guide and motivate others by demonstrating respect; to have pride in themselves, their team and Elms College; to make responsible decisions that reflect well on themselves and their team; to promote healthy lifestyles; to display a positive attitude; and strive to achieve high expectations and goals.
