Athletes at Hollins
About 100 current Hollins students participate in intercollegiate play - testimony to the quality and variety of Hollins' programs and facilities. Today, our eight intercollegiate sports, three club sports, and other recreational and instructional programs continue to challenge and reward our students.
Hollins' basketball, golf, lacrosse, riding, soccer, swimming, tennis, and volleyball teams are members of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC), the second-largest multisport National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III conference in the nation, while our two-time national champion riding team successfully competes with schools many times the size of Hollins as part of the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA).
Friends of Athletics
A Commitment to Excellence
The Hollins athletics department and the Hollins Fund work together to secure funding to ensure continued opportunities for women through Hollins athletics. With your gift to the Friends of Athletics, you will help to provide student-athletes the opportunity to develop their potential on the field, acquiring real life skills of teamwork and leadership while obtaining a quality education that is second to none.
Your gift to Friends of Athletics is an investment in Hollins athletes and a commitment to the future of a robust athletics program at Hollins. Now more than ever, support from individuals is a vital element in improving the quality of athletics at Hollins.
Where will my contribution go?

Can I specify who receives my contribution?
