I've been researching Hastings College, and I'm having a hard time figuring out whether their athletics program is D1 or D2. Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm interested in joining a sports team if I attend the college and would love to know more.
Hastings College's athletics program competes at the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) level, not NCAA Division 1 or Division 2. The NAIA is a separate organization from the NCAA and provides opportunities for smaller colleges and universities to compete in various sports.
At Hastings College, you'll find a variety of sports teams for both men and women. Some of the sports options include basketball, soccer, tennis, track and field, cross country, volleyball, among others. Since the athletics program is at the NAIA level, you can expect a more balanced emphasis on academics and athletics compared to NCAA Division 1 programs. This means that you may have smaller team sizes and potentially more chances for playing time, while also pursuing your academic interests in a more balanced way.
If you're interested in joining a sports team at Hastings, I recommend reaching out to the particular team's coach or the college's athletics department to gather more information about their program and the recruitment process.
