Welcome to the St. Ambrose Fighting Bee family!

We require the following information to be filled out by all incoming student-athletes, including members of the band and color guard and Esports program (unless otherwise noted). This includes all freshmen and new transfers to St. Ambrose.

I want to take a moment to welcome you to St. Ambrose Athletics. I think you will find that your experience here will be an exciting one. You will make friendships with teammates that will last a lifetime, get to play and train in some of the finest facilities anywhere, and play for coaches who care about your development as a student, person, and athlete. The Fighting Bees are a vibrant athletic family of which I am proud to be a part.

NAIA Champions of Character program

The vision of National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Champions of Character program is to change the culture of sport. Its mission is to provide training to instill the values that build character so students, coaches and parents know, do and value the right thing on and off the field. The Champions of Character program helps participants find the balance by keeping five core values – integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship, and servant leadership – at the heart of the athletics experience.
