Athletics
Adjacent to the main campus is a 22-acre (8.9 ha) athletics complex with baseball, softball, soccer and tennis facilities. Near the athletics fields on East Carolina Avenue are the Saleeby House, home to Coker's athletics program, and the Department of Education Building.
The college has 14 varsity athletics programs which compete in Conference Carolinas. They include Basketball, Baseball, Softball, Volleyball, Men's Lacrosse, Cheerleading, Tennis, Golf, Soccer and Cross Country. As Coker was originally a Women's college, there was no history of a football squad; this, along with the high costs of starting and maintaining a team, helps explain why Coker has no varsity football team today.
Effective as of the 2013-14 academic year, Coker will join the South Atlantic Conference along with fellow Conference Carolinas member, Queens University of Charlotte to become the SAC's 11th and 12th members.
