Grizzly Athletics

The Grizzly athletics program provides students with opportunities to participate as a student-athlete, a cheer team member, or as one of the many Grizzly fans who pack the West Plains Civic Center for home games and matches. Missouri State University-West Plains’ basketball and volleyball teams compete at the Division I level in Region 16 of the National Junior College Athletic Association. The Grizzlies play full schedules with teams from throughout the United States. Both squads are perennial challengers for the post-season region championship and have gained national recognition for athletic and academic excellence. The Grizzly Booster Club provides substantial support for athletic scholarships and other vital program needs.
