Intercollegiate Athletic Eligibility
Central Methodist University provides an extensive program of intercollegiate athletics, competing in football, baseball, softball, basketball, track, cross country, soccer, golf, and volleyball. University identification cards are required for admission to intercollegiate events. The University is a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the Heart of America Athletic Conference. The Director of Athletics administers the intercollegiate athletic program.
To represent the University in intercollegiate competition, a student must meet NAIA eligibility requirements, which are specified on the NAIA website. Student-athletes involved in intercollegiate athletics are expected to know and understand these eligibility requirements.
The University does not assume any responsibility for any injuries that may be received in any athletic event or activity. Although Central Methodist University provides secondary insurance coverage on each athlete, each student is expected to provide for his or her medical insurance needs.
The Puckett Field House, the Philips Recreation Center, and the athletic fields are available for intramural sports, physical education classes and intercollegiate athletic contests.
