The Belmont Abbey College Department of Athletics values each
college athlete as student first and athlete second, and in so
doing, strives to create exceptional students so that in all things
God may be glorified. In this endeavor, the athletic
department is guided by the Catholic intellectual tradition and the
Benedictine spirit of prayer and learning.
While training our athletes to become superior competitors, the
Department believes in adhering to the physical and emotional needs
of student-athletes in order to maintain their health and
well-being. Coaches, faculty and staff continuously encourage
learning and academic excellence while strengthening the
athlete’s talents and performance.
The Department values the principles of Reclaim the Game and
supports athletes in developing virtue, sportsmanship, honesty and
integrity.
All students are highly valued and regarded as significant
participants in diversifying, expanding and developing our college
as well as our athletic program. The Athletic Department will
ensure the equal treatment of all student-athletes.
