The athletic program at University of the Cumberlands (formerly Cumberland College) offers student-athletes seeking high-level competition a personal and meaningful experience. Our athletes succeed in the classroom and in their given sport.

We are members of the Mid-South Conference, which is one of the toughest leagues in the NAIA. We compete against similar affiliated institutions that are also committed to the idea of a well-rounded student-athlete.

As athletic director it is my responsibility to provide each student-athlete the best experience possible. We strive to provide the best coaching and support staff available to you. In return, we hope that you will benefit from the quality of sportsmanship and dedication that will help you to grow not only on the field but off as well.

Our athletes are goal oriented, focused and competitive and understand the value of teamwork. If you have these characteristics and are searching for a college where academic and athletic integrity is expected, and the challenge of participating in intercollegiate athletics excites you, I urge you to visit University of the Cumberlands and see how you can become a part of the Patriot tradition.
