History
The intercollegiate athletic program at Madison College began in 1965. Since its inception, the department has striven to offer a broad-based athletic program that fosters student involvement, development, retention, and success.

Mission
The mission of the athletic department at Madison College is consistent with that of the college, which endeavors to provide accessible and quality educational opportunities to all students. We are committed to creating and fostering a welcoming and inclusive environment for all and will engage in processes and initiatives that promote diversity, equity, engagement, and inclusion.
The intercollegiate programs are designed for students who have the ability to and interest in competing and achieving at a high level. Some students are neither interested in making the commitment nor have the ability required to compete at an intercollegiate level. For these students, Madison College offers an intramural athletic program. In addition, the Fitness, Health & Recreation programming and involvement opportunities exist for all students.
Philosophy
Participation in athletics at Madison College is a privilege, not a right, for student-athletes. We strongly believe that athletics plays an integral role in the student-athlete's total educational process and experience. At Madison College, the athletic programs provide a means to enhance each student's personal growth and development. Athletics also allows the student-athlete to excel in sports and gain exposure to community members and representatives from four-year colleges and universities.
Madison College sports are for the participants, and they should receive the benefits from participation. All efforts and energy should be directed toward helping individual student-athletes and teams reach their goals. The entire Athletic Department staff will strive to ensure that participants benefit from a meaningful, positive, and successful athletic experience.
