Come support your Bobcats

The best play here, and you already have a front-row seat! Georgia College & State University Athletics is gearing up for another great year, and now we need you, the student-body, to show your support. Just show your student ID and you get into all home athletics events for FREE

With convenient game times and a fan friendly environment, it’s much better than watching re-runs of “The Real World” on MTV, and it’s certainly better than driving home to watch mom do your laundry.

Haven’t been to a game? Here’s the deal. The Bobcats have a proud tradition of excellence in athletics.

GC&SU sponsors 10 varsity sports which compete at the NCAA Division II level in the Peach Belt Conference. With 23 national championships to its credit since the conference formed in 1991, it is widely recognized as one of the top D-II conferences in the country.

We not only have great teams and great facilities, but there are also chances for fans to win great prizes at many of the home events. To find all the latest news about the Bobcats, including schedules, please visit the GC&SU Athletics Web site at www.gcsu.edu/bobcats.

Soccer

The women’s soccer team kicks off the sports year during the Week of Welcome. The team is only in its second year as a varsity sport, and hopes are already high for run at the conference title. The Bobcats play their home games at the West Campus. Get a seat on the hill and you could also win great prizes and compete in halftime promotions.

Cross Country

Men’s and women’s cross country also has its season in the fall, and Bobcat runners have re-written the school record books in each of the last several seasons.
