Athletics
Roberts is a dual member of two national athletics associations: the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) and is currently in Candidacy Year Two in a transition to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The Redhawks are currently competing as members of the East Coast Conference (ECC); and formerly competed as members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), primarily competing in the American Mideast Conference. Roberts offers sixteen varsity sports: basketball (men and women), cross-country (men and women), golf (men), lacrosse (men and women), soccer (men and women), tennis (men and women), track and field/indoor track and field (men and women), and women’s volleyball.
In July 2011, the college was accepted into the NCAA Division II reclassification process from the NAIA to NCAA. If successful Roberts will become a full member of NCAA Division II for the 2014-15 academic year. Roberts Wesleyan College has advanced to the second year of candidacy in its quest to become the first NCAA Division II school in the Greater Rochester Region. Fall 2014 is the projected acceptance date for complete Division II status.
