Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Hanover College is a member of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference and is a Division III school, so many students get to continue their athletic careers after high school. Hanover students play competitively in varsity sports like baseball, men's and women's basketball, football, men's and women's golf, lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's tennis, track and field, and volleyball. Many alumni and community members support the teams and tailgate before games, but not many students seem to attend sporting events. 

All Hanover students must take two physical activity courses that are taught by the coaches and use the high-quality athletic facilities at the Horner Center, the same facilities used by the athletes and teams. Intramural sports like floor hockey, kickball, and sand volleyball, among others, are popular with the whole student body.

Sports Are Fun

Varsity sports are a big part of campus life. A lot of students participate, but the events aren't heavily attended by students.

Athletics

Hanover College is blessed to have very athletically competitive teams. Unfortunately, there is not very much student body awareness of athletic events, winning records, and when big games are occurring.

Not That Big a Deal

Lots of people are in athletics, but games aren't really a big deal.

School Spirit

School spirit is definitely alive at Hanover. At football and basketball games in particular, it is common to see students and alumni dressed in red and blue or painted up to support the team. Many sorority and fraternity members dress up to support their brothers and sisters who are athletes. Other sports at Hanover have their spectators, but they do not receive as much support as football and basketball. School spirit at Hanover manifests itself through general campus participation and pride in all aspects of the school, not just athletics.

Getting Tickets

Students get in to all events free with their student ID.

Best Place to Take a Walk

Anywhere around campus—it’s all beautiful. Around the Point and down to Crowe Falls are popular spots.

Did You Know? The Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity hosts a three-week long wiffleball tournament during spring term every year, with many student teams competing.
