Hello! I'm interested in Governors State University and would like to know more about their sports teams, specifically the NCAA division they compete in. Any information is appreciated!
Hello! Governors State University is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) rather than NCAA. They compete in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC). The university offers a variety of sports teams for both men and women. Men's sports include basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, and track & field. Women's sports include basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, track & field, and volleyball.
Being a part of the NAIA provides student-athletes with ample opportunities to compete at the collegiate level while prioritizing academic success. Sometimes, smaller schools operating under the NAIA umbrella offer a more intimate athletic experience with close-knit team communities.
If you're interested in joining a sports team or learning more about the athletic opportunities at Governors State University, I'd recommend reaching out to the athletic department or the coaches for the specific sports you're interested in. They can provide you with more detailed information about recruitment, athletic scholarships, facilities, and team culture.
Good luck, and I hope this helps!
