Warner University Athletics

Warner competes in NAIA athletics, which sits between major college sports and recreational play with modest scholarships and regional competition. The Royals field teams in 17 varsity sports with 520 total athletes. This means roughly 69% of Warner's 753 students participate in varsity athletics, creating an unusually sports-heavy campus culture. The school distributes $241,577 in athletic scholarships across all sports. Warner competes in The Sun Conference, facing regional Christian universities and small colleges throughout Florida and the Southeast. The high percentage of student-athletes reflects the school's emphasis on developing well-rounded individuals through both academics and competition. With nearly seven in ten students playing a varsity sport, athletics become a central part of the Warner experience rather than just entertainment for spectators.
