Athletics and Intramural Sports
The Southern University at Shreveport Athletic Department provides intercollegiate sports for students with the goal of providing them with the opportunity to compete with other students at the intercollegiate level. At present, intercollegiate basketball for men and women, as well as golf, is offered to students through the Louisiana Athletic Association of Community Colleges Conference [LAACC]. The men and women basketball teams compete in Division I basketball and are sanctioned by the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) through Region 23. The Athletic Department provides an athletic environment that enhances physical, mental, psychological and social growth and development through encouraging students to compete at their full potential with proper regard given to sportsmanship and fair play. Intramural sports activities include but are not limited to: flag football, volleyball, card game tournaments, and 3 on 3 basketball. Students interested in these activities should contact the Athletics Department.
