It’s a privilege and honor to be able to participate and compete in intercollegiate athletics. Our athletic administration, staff and coaches are commit- ted to providing a challenging, supportive and caring environment where our student-athletes can reach their full spiritual, academic and athletic potential. The goal is that the collegiate experience will enable VU student athletes appropriate balance among these dimensions which will allow a healthy perspective on the use of time and talents as they serve Christ. As we begin this journey, we have developed an on-boarding packet that will guide you through all the information you need to complete to be ready to go for the fall semester and be on the practice field as soon as possible. It is important that all steps are completed so each student can have a great start to their Vanguard career. If you have any questions on any part of the packet, please reach out to your coach and they can point you in the proper direction to receive an answer to your inquiry. May God bless your journey.
