CVC Athletics Mission

Suns logo  Dear Suns Family, 

In the athletic department at Cedar Valley College, the goal has always been to cultivate and encourage our student-athletes to be the most productive individual they can be, so that when their time is over at CVC they are a better individual than when they came. 

Whether it be the classroom, their respective field of play, or everyday society we hope to plant seeds that help our student-athletes to continually grow. 

We will continue to stress the importance of graduating student-athletes as we also continue to shine in competition. The building blocks of academic accomplishment and feats, athletic triumphs, and being an integral part of our community are building blocks that will forever resonate with CVC. 

Thank you for your commitment to us as we continue to follow our values of respect, integrity, sportsmanship, leadership, trust, loyalty, and success. 

Krasi Kolarov, Director of Athletics
