Trinity Athletics Mission Statement

Athletics contributes to the overall educational experience at Trinity College by providing comprehensive and varied athletic programs to all students. The Physical Education/Athletic Department is committed to the following:

*An elective physical education program for all students that stresses good health, physical fitness, and life-time sport activities.
 
*An intramural program that encourages students of varied abilities and skills to participate in a wide range of recreational athletic activities.
  
*Club sports that offer students the opportunity for intercollegiate competition in a less structured environment
 
*A vigorous, equitable intercollegiate men's and women's sports program that strives for achievement and excellence with an emphasis on the health and personal development of the student-athlete.

Trinity College embraces intercollegiate athletics as an educational experience that is an integral component of the academic mission of the College.  Additionally, we pursue a competitive level of athletic excellence for each student-athlete and seek national achievement.  We provide the necessary resources for each sport to assure equity in programs and to promote and facilitate high levels of performance.  The College attracts a diverse group of student-athletes who will contribute academically, athletically, and socially to the life of our campus.  Our athletic staff conducts all programs in an ethical manner in accordance with goals of the New England Small College Athletic Conference and the National Collegiate Athletic Association.  We expect our student-athletes, as representatives of the College, to exhibit the highest ethical standards on and off the playing fields.
