Indian Hills participates in the National Junior College Athletic Association in the following sports.

  • Women: Volleyball, soccer, softball, and cross country.

The Lady Warriors softball team began at the Centerville campus in the mid-1970s, but since 1988 have been based in Ottumwa. They have made 16 appearances in the National Junior College Athletic Association softball tournament. Home games are played at R.L. Hellyer Field, next to their indoor practice facility, funded by and named for I.H.C.C. alumnus Tom Arnold.

The men's basketball team pulled off a "three-peat" in the late 1990s, winning the NJCAA National Championship back-to-back-to-back in 1997, 1998, and 1999. The Indian Hills men's golf team also won an NJCAA Championship in 2000 and 2011.

All teams use "Warriors" as a mascot/name except for the baseball team, which uses "Falcons", an homage to their past heritage as Centerville Junior College. The baseball team has made eleven trips to the Junior College World Series.
