Tradition is not built overnight! It takes the hard work of many people over many years. UW-Fox Valley has a very rich athletic tradition as evidenced by several league and state championships. The following intercollegiate athletic teams participate during each corresponding season: Fall - women's volleyball, co-ed soccer, and golf (men and women); Winter - basketball (men and women); Spring - tennis (men and women). There is also a men's club volleyball team that participates during the winter season. These athletes were not necessarily the "stars" on their high school teams. However, they are athletes that really love the game and wish to continue their athletic career. The common ground is that athletics at UW-Fox Valley provide opportunities for students to enrich their college experience.
INTRAMURALS
For those students that do not choose to be part of an intercollegiate team, we offer intramural leagues, in connection with Fox Valley Technical College. The following sports are offered throughout the year. In the fall, there is co-ed volleyball (played at Fox), and flag football (played at the Tech); in winter, 5 on 5 basketball (played at Fox); and in spring, co-ed softball and soccer (played at the Tech).
This provides an opportunity for all students to participate in the sport they enjoy playing.
