Being a Redeemer Royal means so much more than just playing a game: it means becoming a person of character and living out your faith on and off the court. Becoming a varsity athlete at Redeemer provides a great opportunity to prepare for servant leadership in all areas of life while learning the benefits of a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
If you are competitive and highly skilled, and are looking to get involved at a high energy level, Redeemer's varsity sports are for you. With practices three times a week (on average), and your own personal strength training and conditioning, you will focus as a team on skill development, team tactics, and a strong mental approach to the game. The Royals' coaches are men and women dedicated to helping you achieve your goals with integrity, passion, and commitment.
Redeemer offers you five varsity sports which compete in the Ontario College's Athletic Association (OCAA):
- Men's & Women's Basketball
- Men's & Women's Indoor and Outdoor Soccer
- Men's & Women's Volleyball
- Cross Country
- Badminton (Coming 2009-2010 Season)
Our commitment to varsity student-athletes is to provide a high quality program that attains three specific and high level goals. The Athletic Department staff, our coaches, and our players share in these three goals:
- create a medal winning tradition
- develop holistic student athletes
- glorify God in all that we do
At Redeemer University College, our success stems from having the best quality coaches use the best team management practices available. Student-athletes can expect to work hard on and off the playing field to develop the gifts that God has given them. In addition to improving athletic skill, we maintain a constant focus on character development through sport in the areas of leadership training as well as spiritual and social growth. Our programs allow for a healthy balance in life that is essential in the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence.
Most importantly, our commitment to glorifying God in all we do is unwavering and helps to form our student-athletes’ approach to competition and life after university.
