Chattanooga State athletics is all about the student athlete. Challenged to excellence by our College President, Dr. Jim Catanzaro, student athletes are provided with the best coaches in the country, a trend-setting facility, and, most importantly, a teaching faculty which teams with athletic leadership to promote the physical, intellectual, social and moral development of each student.
With an enrollment over 13,000, Chattanooga State competes at the Division 1 level in baseball, men and women’s basketball, and fast pitch softball.
Tiger baseball opened the 2010-2011 season with a Region 7 Tournament win and a trip to Grand Junction Colorado as one of 10 teams in the country to compete in the JUCO World Series. Head Coach Greg Dennis looks to defend the Tigers title this year in a newly remodeled 600 seat stadium backed up by a Field House with state-of-the-art training and locker room facilities. Tiger Baseball continues to be recognized as a premier program both on the field and in the classroom.
Chattanooga State’s men and women’s basketball teams under the direction of Head Coach Jay Price are consistently known nationally. This year the teams are poised for championship play. Academically, Tiger basketball provides opportunities for student athletes to achieve at Chattanooga State while advancing athletically to nationally competitive levels.
With a blend of athletic and academic drive and determination, Head Coach Beth Keylon-Randolph inspires her softball program to continually excel on the field and in the classroom. Tiger softball, in 2010, had eight team members earn all conference academic honors and four earn All Academic NFCA Scholar honors while winning the region tournament sending them to the national tournament for the 16th time out of the past 17 years. A new locker room facility houses Tiger softball as they continue to set the standard for excellence nationally.
