NCAA Division III, Club, and Intramural Sports
The championship banners that hang from the rafters give you a good idea of what we expect from our student- athletes. But at Gustavus we believe in more than a big win. We believe in integrity, respect, and the highest standards on and off the field.
Teamwork and leadership are part of the fabric of the school. We’re proud of our banners and what they symbolize...and you just might be the person to help us earn another one. We’re also proud of our perseverance. If you’re aiming to play in one of our clubs or intramural programs, that’s the Gustie spirit. Join. Explore. Play. Participate. Wear the black and gold and be part of Gustie pride.
