Livingstone University Athletics

Hi all, I'm seriously considering applying to Livingstone University, and I want to learn more about their athletic programs. Can anyone tell me more about their athletics, such as which sports they're known for and the overall experience of being on a team there? Thanks!

Hi! Livingstone University is a Division II school and a member of the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA). Their athletic program, known as the Livingstone Blue Bears, offers a range of sports for both men and women. Here's a brief overview of the sports they offer:

Men's sports:

1. Basketball

2. Cross Country

3. Football

4. Golf

5. Track & Field

6. Football

Women's sports:

1. Basketball

2. Bowling

3. Cross Country

4. Softball

5. Track & Field

6. Tennis

7. Volleyball

The men's basketball team has been particularly successful in recent years, having won the CIAA tournament championship titles in 2014 and 2015. So, if you're into basketball, Livingstone could be a good fit for you.

As for the overall student-athlete experience, joining a team at Livingstone can provide you with many opportunities for personal and athletic growth. You can expect to forge strong bonds with your fellow teammates through practices, competitions, and team activities. While being a student-athlete at a smaller school like Livingstone might not have the same level of visibility and prestige compared to larger D-I programs, it can still be a rewarding and fulfilling experience with a strong sense of camaraderie and school spirit.

It's always a good idea to get in touch with the coaching staff or current team members if possible to get a firsthand account of what being part of Livingstone's athletic programs is like. They can provide you with more details about the team dynamics, practice schedules, and the overall feel of the athletics culture on campus.

Good luck with your college search and, hopefully, your future athletic endeavors at Livingstone University! Go Blue Bears!
