Athletics and Recreation


Students and athletes

We encourage students to try something new - to learn a new sport or gather friends to play in an intramural league. After all, the best education challenges both mind and body.

PLU has long been known as a sports powerhouse. The football team has won four national titles, and more than 400 Lutes in all sports have been named first-team NCAA All-Americans. Given all this success, the fact that our student-athletes are exactly that – students and athletes – is something of which we are very proud. Those who wear a Lutes jersey know that when they come to PLU, they will not only play on some great teams – they get a great education, too.

But you don’t have to be a varsity athlete to play at PLU. In fact, we encourage students to try something new – it’s part of our belief that the best education includes challenging your mind and body. So, suit up with the varsity teams, learn a new club sport such as ultimate Frisbee or lacrosse, or join up with your friends as part of the Intramural Sports or Outdoor Recreation programs.
