Delaware Valley College - Athletics

Athletics

Over 40 percent of our undergraduates participate in sports and bring a lively, competitive spirit to campus.

The College fields a total of 17 men and women’s teams in Division III of the NCAA. DelVal is affiliated with the Eastern College Athletic Conference and competes in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC). Our coaches are dedicated and committed to their sports and to their athletes, providing special attention that extends beyond athletics and into the classroom.

As a Division III school, DelVal caters to a special kind of athlete, one who is serious about both sports and academics. Student-athletes excel both on and off the field. Being in Division III, athletes have the option of competing in more than one sport. A standout quarterback in the fall, for example, has gone on to set records for home runs and RBIs in the spring.

All teams regularly exhibit top-notch talent, but programs in football and wrestling are particularly strong, with frequent appearances in post-season play.

For the more casual competitor, DelVal has a year-round program of intramural sports that allows students to stay in shape, test their abilities and get together with friends. In addition to the conventional offerings of flag football, basketball and softball, DelVal has one-day tournaments, a 100-miles run club, horseshoes, dodge ball and more.

Equestrian sports are big at DelVal. The school is a member of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA), where members can compete in both Hunt Seat and Western shows. In addition, dressage riders can compete in Intercollegiate Dressage Association (IDA) shows. The school is also home to a vaulting team.
