Intercollegiate Athletics

The Daytona Beach campus offers a variety of varsity athletic programs, including baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, tennis, and volleyball. The ERAU Eagles compete as members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the Florida Sun Conference (FSC). As a collective, the Eagles are consistently among the finest in the nation, ranking 13th in the country according to the 2001-02 Sears Cup Standings as administered by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA). The athletic program at Daytona Beach also claimed the FSC's All-Sports Trophy at the conclusion of each of the past three seasons, becoming only the second team in the league's history to accomplish that feat.

Intercollegiate athletics at the Daytona Beach campus can be traced back to the 1988-89 academic year, when the University inaugurated five men's sports: baseball, basketball, golf, soccer, and tennis. In the past nine seasons, current Director of Athletics Steve Ridder has overseen the addition of six more programs, including: volleyball (1995), women's soccer (1998), men's and women's cross country (1999), women's tennis (1999-00) and women's golf (2000-01).

In addition to successes on the field of play, Embry-Riddle athletes have proven themselves repeatedly in the classroom and in the community. A total of 56 athletes have earned NAIA All-America Scholar-Athlete honors during their tenure in Daytona Beach. As participants in the NAIA's recent Champions of Character initiative, Embry-Riddle athletes can be found throughout the Daytona Beach community, helping with projects such as elementary school reading programs, hospice center support, and Special Olympics.
