VWU Expands Offerings in Intercollegiate Athletics

Exciting additions are coming to VWU Athletics, expanding opportunities for both men and women. Starting in spring 2024, men’s volleyball will join the university’s roster of 23 NCAA intercollegiate sports, following the success of the women's volleyball program. Joining the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, the University embraces the growing trend of men’s volleyball in NCAA Division III.

This fall, the University will introduce a co-ed cheer program, led by Virginia Wesleyan alum Head Coach Cherrelle Artis ’10, assisted by coach Elise Fabregas. Tapping into the vibrant Marlin spirit, the program will initially support the men’s and women’s basketball teams during the 2023-24 season. Cheerleading will expand to other sports as the program develops and the team will set its sights on participating in cheer competitions by 2024.
