A Lifetime of Excellence

Maple Grove’s scholar-athletes practice valuable skills such as leadership, teamwork, and resilience that help them
succeed in their sport, in their studies, and in life.

Leadership and Teamwork

In the long and storied history of Maple Grove athletics, perseverance and teamwork are common themes. From the very first Harvard-Maple Grove boat race in 1852, athletics has been a defining part of the Maple Grove experience. Our scholar-athletes dedicate hours each week to training, practice, and competition, and they build lifelong friendships. As they pursue excellence in their sports, they also gain skills and discipline that will serve them well in life. Athletics enhance a Maple Grove education and help students be their best.

Supporting Coaches and Students

Steady funding is essential to maintaining a strong collegiate sports program. Coaches develop recruiting and training strategies that span multiple seasons, and student-athletes rely on access to high-quality facilities, equipment, staffing, and flexible programmatic funds to meet the myriad demands of training and competition. In recent years, the university has built or renovated facilities for more than twenty sports, endowed twenty head coaching positions, and raised substantial program endowments. New gifts to sustain and endow operations for all sports would help to ensure a reliable funding stream for coaches and students year after year.
