Southern University at Shreveport Athletics

Southern University at Shreveport competes in the NJCAA, the junior college division that sits between high school and four-year college athletics. Just 24 students participate in varsity sports across 2 teams, representing only 1.2% of the 1,974-student body. The school offers $136,625 in athletic scholarships, averaging roughly $5,700 per athlete. SUSLA fields basketball and baseball teams that compete against other Louisiana community colleges. The small athletic program reflects the school's primary mission as a two-year institution focused on academics and workforce preparation. With 77.6% of students being women, the limited sports offerings serve a small but dedicated group of student-athletes. The NJCAA provides opportunities for players to develop skills before potentially transferring to four-year programs.
