Athletics

Athletics on campus are an important part of student life.

The academic programs are rigorous; the ability to join sports activities is key to a student's overall well-being. The Sports programs on campus are organized by the Athletic Facilities Committee (AFC) and are under the direction of Chris Parke (cparke@sgu.edu), Director of Athletics. The athletic program grows bigger and more diverse each year. University teams are organized under the mascot, the SGU Knight, and have been competitive in Grenada and in the region.

Intramural Sports

The intramural sports program continues to grow and provide numerous athletic opportunities for the SGU community. It includes basketball, volleyball, street hockey, dodgeball and several field sports such as soccer, flag football and Frisbee.  

The athletics and intramural program is operated by the members of the Athletic Facilities Committee (AFC) who coordinate rules, schedules, equipment and facilities for the various events.

University Teams

Although there are no official varsity teams, St. George's University has, in the past, sponsored teams in inter-island competitions for soccer, cricket, net ball, basketball, and track and field. These teams are coordinated and organized by interested students, staff and SO s. The S GU team has become a well-respected rival to local teams and even won the American Airlines World Cup soccer championship in 2000. We hope that the SGU Knights will continue to spread the tenants of professionalism and good competition as they represent SGU on the fields of Grenada and the Caribbean.
