Both our men’s and women’s basketball coaches (Bobby Cremins and Nancy Wilson) have logged more than 500 victories in their careers, making them two of only four active coaches in the U.S. who can make that claim. Along with the women’s volleyball team, their squads play at home in the brand new, 5,000-seat Carolina First Arena.
Of course, not everyone attending the College of Charleston will play on a Division I NCAA athletic team, but you can participate in any of almost two dozen intramural and club sports from Aikido to Ultimate Frisbee.
