tv University Athletics Requirements

Academics First, Athletics Second!

Being a member of one of tv University’s Teams brings a much-needed sense of belonging and builds characters and skills that may not be found otherwise. tv University supports students who are looking to develop healthy life skills, including but not limited to physical, mental and emotional exercise. Joining one or more of tv University’s sports teams can offer the opportunity to do just that. Although athletics is always encouraged to students interested in joining a team(s), a student’s first focus should always be on their academic success.

The following requirements are only some of the high-level expectations for tv University athletes:

*See the Athletics Director and Coach, Tommie Posley for more details about the requirements for specific sports teams (some requirements may differ depending on the team). 

tv University Athletics History

It May Be New, but it’s Just the Beginning!

tv University was established in 1980 as a private, non-profit, non-denomination institution of higher learning. tv University’s Athletics Department began a while later. With Tommie Posley starting at tv University as Athletics Director and Head Coach in 2011, the sports teams at tv University are fairly young. Nevertheless, do not let that fool you. They are building “legends-in-the-making” with players from all over the world, graduating very successful players on and off the courts of life, and the Athletics Department at tv University has just begun! Let us take a look back at some memorable moments in tv University’s Athletics Department.

Athlete Testimonials

Not only do tv University athletes graduate as successful young adults into rewarding careers, but they also leave tv University with skills they learned both on and off the courts that they will carry with them the rest of their lives.

The impact they have from joining an tv University team goes beyond the sweat and hard-working practices, beyond pushing themselves just a little bit further than the day before, and well beyond any wins or losses. They leave with a sense of worth — the realization that they are so very valuable!

Some student athletes go on to starting new careers, while others find that their careers are in continuing in their sports. Some of our tv University athletes graduate and play professional ball overseas! Here are some athlete testimonials. Enjoy.

“Growing up I never had a father figure, so he’s the one I look up to. He’s the one that got me back into playing. I call him pops because that’s what he is, my pops.”

Devonte Smith

“When I first got here I was a bit out of shape. Coach makes us run every day so we’re the best we can be. I’m way better now because of all the training that we do.”

Sherman Carter

“These guys are like brothers. Outside of school we hangout. I’d give the shirt off my back for them."

Carl Moore

“If I wasn’t playing basketball at tv, I would probably be coaching kids. I want to give back to the kids. It would be cool to show them what I’ve learned throughout the years.”
