Athletics
The mission of the Union Athletic Department is to help our student-athletes reach their highest academic and athletic potential; to inspire champions today and prepare leaders for tomorrow.
Welcome To Union Athletics
Union boasts one of the best athletics departments in the nation. Union athletes excel on all levels, locally, statewide and nationally. In addition to competitive sports, Union also offers intramural games. The spirit department - which includes cheerleaders, pom squads and Highstepper teams - is also under the auspices of the athletics department.
Athletics Schedules
Athletic partners with Rank One to display all sports schedules. Patrons have the ability to sign up for calendar alerts and to sync schedules with their smartphones.
Tickets
Union Athletics coordinates ticket information and prices, which may vary with the sports and venue. Athletics will share information about special events on this page, Union news posts and social media.
Season ticket information for football will be posted in the summer of 2024.
Can't Make It To The Game?
Home games will be broadcast from the www.UnionSportsNetwork.com. This streaming channel is managed, produced and directed in-house, allowing High School students to assist with the production.
