THE VANGUARD ATHLETIC PROGRAM HAS REALLY IMPACTED MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY TEAMMATES. NOT ONLY DO OUR OWN COACHES CARE ABOUT US, BUT COACHES FROM OTHER TEAMS INVEST INTO OUR LIVES AS WELL. THERE IS A CLEAR PASSION FOR PLAYING THE GAME AND WINNING, BUT THEY GO BEYOND THAT. IT IS A REAL PRIVILEGE PLAYING FOR AN ATHLETIC PROGRAM THAT HELPS US GROW SPIRITUALLY AND WITH INTEGRITY. - MEGAN HILL ’14 SOCCER

CHAMPIONS OF CHARACTER Vanguard University’s intercollegiate athletic program has been building character in its student-athletes as a proud member of the NAIA’s Champions of Character program initiative since 2000. Vanguard was named a Champions of Character Center in 2005. Champions of Character is an initiative that aims to change the culture of sport by incorporating the first two commandments along with implementing five core values: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership.

Bob Wilson, Vanguard's athletic director, was named NAIA-ADA Athletics Director of the Year for 2011-2012. This honor recognizes Wilson's integrity, mentorship and education of our scholar-athletes.

Lions are leaders of character emulating Christ through faithfulness and selflessness, while passionately educating and influencing others to change the culture of sport.
