Sports, athletics and physical fitness play an all-star role in life at Lipscomb for many students. As we seek growth and learn to be spiritual leaders, it's important that we maintain our physical health as well. Teamwork and sportsmanship help us grow together. Not only do they provide multiple opportunities for student bonding, our athletic and recreational activities have a reputation for being all-inclusive and fun for all involved.

Here's what Lipscomb has to offer when you want to get active...

Bison Athletics
Tailgate parties. Purple and yellow. Pumped up crowds packed into the 5,000-seat Allen Arena. The Battle of the Boulevard, where the Bisons go head to head with our archrivals, Belmont University. Games against big name competition like LSU, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Missouri, Arkansas and South Carolina. That's what Bison athletics means to us!
