Go Panthers!

Nothing engenders school spirit quite like athletics. Whether you're in the stands or at the foul line, Panther sports are an important part of who we are.

Our mission

Excellence in Competition and Character.

In keeping with the University's mission, Claflin's Intercollegiate Athletics Program is designed to fully accommodate the needs and interests of student-athletes in their quest for excellence in highly competitive sports — while they work toward an undergraduate degree.

The program is educationally based, ethically sound, fiscally responsible, gender equitable, and imbued with the values of sportsmanship and fair play. By fostering pride and goodwill across the Claflin community, our athletes contribute to the respected image of the University.
