Athletics Mission and Values
We serve as the front porch and most visible aspect of the campus.
We don’t play at UMW, we play for UMW. Athletic contests and accomplishments provide thousands of
dollars of free media exposure to UMW each year. Athletic camps bring thousands of prospective students on
campus each summer. We are actively involved all year in community engagement
activities throughout the region. Student-athletes serve as positive role models on and off campus. We are an economic driver in the region, with over 100 visiting
teams per year coming to Fredericksburg, pumping tens of thousands of dollars into the local economy.
We play to win, but always with honor. Sportsmanship, compliance, and fair play are cornerstone values.
