Trinity Athletics to Add Two Varsity Programs

The Trinity Athletics Department is pleased to announce that it will add women’s golf and men’s volleyball as intercollegiate varsity sports for the 2015-16 school year. Along with all of Trinity’s athletics programs, these teams will compete as members of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and the National Christian College Athletics Association (NCCAA).

“Trinity athletics is very excited to expand our department with the addition of two new sports,” said Athletics Director Bill Schepel ’85. 

“I believe our excellent facilities will accommodate a men’s volleyball program very well and its presence on campus will partner well with our women’s program,” said Schepel. “The women’s golf program will benefit from the groundwork laid by Coach Dennis Harms ’89, who helped start the men’s golf program four years ago.”

The women’s golf team will open its inaugural season in 2015-16 with a complete fall and spring schedule. They will join the current six schools that support women’s golf in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC). 

The men’s volleyball program returns to Trinity as a varsity sport following an 11-year absence.  Previously, the Trolls sponsored a varsity team for five seasons from 2000-2004. For the 2015-16 season, the men’s volleyball team will play an independent schedule with future plans to join in conference play with the five other CCAC schools that have men’s volleyball. 

Trinity is actively searching for head coaches to lead each program. View the job descriptions.

With the addition of women’s golf and men’s volleyball, Trinity’s Athletics Department includes 14 varsity programs.
