Supporting physical development and promoting ethical conduct through sport.
Leadership Through Athletics
Physical development, health and well-being are fundamental to developing future leaders at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy. In other words, this is not your typical college athletic program. Here you will develop your athletic and physical abilities every year until you graduate, starting on the first day of Swab Summer. You participate in the classroom, during a daily fitness period, through physical fitness testing, and through competition.
Whether or not you played in high school, every cadet competes, through varsity, club or intramural sports. By the time you graduate, you will be prepared for the physical rigors of work as a commissioned officer.
Competitive Excellence
The Academy offers one of the broadest athletic programs in NCAA Division III, with twelve men’s, ten women’s, and one co-ed varsity team; six chartered club sports; and 15+ recreational sports.
The most exceptional varsity and club athletes compete in national championships, and earn distinction as All-Americans, national and conference champions, and Academic All-Conference team members.
Cadets enjoy an unmatched opportunity to play. Many varsity athletes have roster spots on more than one team.

Fit for Life
The Health and Physical Education (HPE) program ensures that graduates possess the knowledge, skills, and fitness necessary to meet the physical rigors of a Coast Guard career.
Under the guidance of the HPE staff, cadets complete the Swab Summer training program, take physical education classes each semester, and pass a Physical Fitness Exam (PFE) once each semester.
