Friends University's basketball teams compete in the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) and they are part of the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC). NAIA is different from NCAA and consists of smaller colleges and universities with a focus on promoting character-driven athletic programs.
As for their performance, it's a good idea to review their team's statistics and recent results on the University's athletics website or the KCAC website. Keep in mind that performance can vary from season to season, so looking at the most recent information will give you a better understanding of their current standing.
Regarding facilities, Friends University has the Garvey Physical Education Center as their home court for basketball games. The Garvey Physical Education Center hosts men's and women's varsity basketball games and other sporting events. To get an idea of the facilities, you can check the University website for virtual tours or pictures, or try to visit in person if possible.
When it comes to joining the team, it can be competitive depending on the talent level and roster needs for that specific season. The best way to increase your chances of joining the team is to reach out to the coaching staff, express your interest, and provide them with information about your skills and experience. You might also want to attend any open tryouts or showcases that Friends University offers to prospective student-athletes. You could also consider attending summer camps or clinics related to basketball to improve your skills.
It's essential to maintain your academic performance as well, as the eligibility to participate in college sports often requires meeting specific academic standards.
