Athletics

There are many options in team sports as well as recreational. St. Olaf is a Division III school. All of the teams compete well. The athletic facilities are excellent. The coaches are all great role models and good at what they do.

Fun

As an athlete at St. Olaf your teammates are your best friends. If you come here expecting to see the stands filled with people screaming you will be disappointed. There are rarely students at many games except for homecoming and the worms (Carleton). You play D3 sports for the love of the game though not for the glory and to be in the spotlight. For a school our size we have reasonably nice facilities. Athletes have a bad reputation here because many of us do not meet the high standards that we would need to get in without our respective sports. With that said there still are athletes who excel in the classroom just be prepared for a lot of hard work and late nights. Overall, St. Olaf has some very good sports teams contrary to what others may say. Football, Hockey, and Baseball being the main ones. If you love your sport and are ready to put in a lot of work in the classroom and on the field YOU WILL HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.

Good for a D3 School

though olaf is a D3 school, it still has a lively intramural sport scene. We have the regular sports like volleyball and basketball, but then innertube water polo and broomball as well. about 60% of our student body participates in an intramural sport, and in a competitive or non-competitive league.. we also have 27 varsity sports, and the school will provide transportation to get to away games.
