Centenary College of Louisiana Athletics

Centenary competes in NCAA Division III, where sports focus on personal development rather than big crowds and athletic scholarships. The Gentlemen and Ladies field 16 varsity teams in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference. With 275 total athletes among 615 students, nearly 45% of the student body participates in varsity athletics. This high participation rate reflects the college's commitment to well-rounded student experiences rather than spectator sports. The small enrollment creates tight-knit team cultures where student-athletes often compete in multiple sports or transition between seasons. Division III means no athletic scholarships are available, so players compete purely for the love of their sport. The intimate campus setting allows teammates to build strong bonds that extend well beyond their playing careers.
