Franciscan Wordmark

Thank you for your interest in Franciscan University Athletics! We are proud to offer 20 varsity programs competing in NCAA Division III as part of the Presidents’ Athletic Conference—or, in the case of rugby, its equivalent. Our mission is simple and bold: to form disciples, develop leaders, and pursue excellence both on and off the field. 
Competing at the collegiate varsity level requires significant commitment. Student-athletes dedicate substantial time and energy throughout the academic year to practice, strength and conditioning, film review, position meetings, recovery sessions, and travel for competition. It’s a challenging, rewarding experience that builds character, discipline, and lasting friendships. 
 
If you believe you have the dedication and skill to compete at this level, I encourage you to take the next step. Visit our Staff Directory, find the contact information for the head coach of your sport, and send a quick introductory email to begin a conversation about being recruited.
 
This is an important moment in your collegiate journey, and we’d love to connect. Reach out to your prospective coach and take that first step toward becoming a Baron! 
  
Go Barons!
