Read the Student-Athlete Code of Conduct (PDF)
Philosophy Statement
The staff and coaches continually stress a balanced approach between athletics, academics and personal development to our student athletes. Our athletes only experience college athletics one time and we strive to assist all student athletes in the athletics program to do it right and leave with no regrets. This is "their time". We truly believe in the "Life in Balance" concept of Division II Athletics and strive to help insure all student athletes at CSU-Pueblo leave the University with great experiences and equipped for success as they pursue their dreams after graduation. Community Service and Community Engagement events are an important part of the athletics department and student athlete experience. Our student athletes log over 3500 hours of community service and several community engagement events are held on our campus each year to bring the community and University together. "Developing Champions Through Athletics" is our motto and overall goal. Everything we do in ThunderWolves Athletics is geared to accomplish the motto and program goals. Athletics is an integral part of Colorado State University-Pueblo and strives to promote and enhance the Mission of the University. |

Creating a First Class Game EnvironmentVIEW THE CSU-PUEBLO GAME ENVIRONMENT "YELLOW CARD"
The safety and treatment of athletes, officials and fans need to be of a high priority in game management procedures. CSU-Pueblo wants its home students and fans to help create a great home court/field advantage for our competing student-athletes, however we will not condone abusive language or actions toward opposing student-athletes, fans and officials. |
CSU-PUEBLO ATHLETICS PYRAMID OF SUCCESS:
Success as a citizen cannot be accomplished merely through athletic success. The mission of CSU-Pueblo Athletics is to create good citizens, not just good athletes. It all begins with the desire to be great, both on and off the field of play. Second, an individual must maintain that desire through committment and the willingness for self-improvement, both on the field and in the classroom. That leads to the accomplishment of goals, both academically and professionally, that leads to the ultiimate goal: becoming a productive citizen.
