At Calvin, we aim high. Our athletes want to run farther and faster, hit harder, play harder and smarter, jump higher, and shoot with passion and precision. Calvin athletes are dedicated to their faith, to their studies, and to their sport. They dive right into every challenge. You can, too.
BODY AND SPIRIT
You’ll find yourself in a community of encouragement. Professors, teammates, and coaches will support you, cheer for you, and build you up every step of the way—in every event, game, and practice— all the way to an NCAA DIII National Championship.
PASSION AND RIVALRY
The Calvin-Hope men’s basketball Rivalry game is an ESPN-warranted phenomenon. This (friendly) competition between Calvin and Hope College has motivated the Knights for over 100 years. But the passion doesn’t start and stop with our biggest rival. Our passion fuels us as we meet every opponent and every obstacle. Our athletes are up to and eager for the challenge.

WHY CALVIN?
COMPETITIVE EXCELLENCE
Our athletic facilities are second to none, our coaches bring a wealth of wisdom and a competitive spirit, and our athletes never settle for less than their best. It’s no wonder that our NCAA Division III teams consistently earn high marks in the league and in the division. We’re even regularly recognized on the national level (including over 100 top ten NCAA finishes).
LIVING FAITHFULLY
As a Christian university, everything we do stems from the belief that we belong to Jesus Christ. So as athletes, our students strive to live a life dedicated to Christ. With their teammates and Calvin coaches, our athletes integrate faith into every area of life—from weekly accountability to athletic competitions.
STUDENT-ATHLETE EXPERIENCE
At Calvin, you’ll have dozens of opportunities to pursue excellence in both academics and athletics. As an NCAA Division III competitor, we don’t offer athletic scholarships—but that doesn’t stop our students from achieving great things. Our students are bright, dedicated, and hard-working. So, it’s not surprising that we rank in the top 10 in the NCAA for number of Academic All-Americans.
