Local Facilities

Briercrest College and Seminary offers the sports facilities that you would expect from one of Canada’s largest Christian post-secondary schools. Whether you are a Clipper athlete or just an active student, our wide range of athletic options will keep you active throughout the year.

  • Gymnasium – from pick-up basketball to team practices, there is always something going on in our double-court gymnasium. During the weekends, fans pack the stands to cheer on their Briercrest Clippers as they compete head-to-head with teams in the Alberta Colleges Athletics Conference (one of Canada’s premier college leagues).
  • Weight Room – a wide selection of free weights, dumbbells, benches, and exercise machines are available to help students stay fit.
  • Cardio Room – after sitting in class all day, the cardio room is a great place to unwind and get your heart pumping. If you are up for a challenge, you can also race against your friends using one of the four interconnected stationary bikes.
  • Ice Arena – students with a knack for the ice can enjoy a casual skate at one of the open ice times or join one of the intramural hockey leagues. The arena is also home to the Briercrest Clipper hockey team.
  • Athletic Lounge – before or after the big game, Clipper players can unwind in the athletic lounge overlooking the double-court gymnasium. This is a place where stories are told, struggles are shared, and friendships are formed.
  • Outdoor Volleyball Court – new in 2004, the outdoor volleyball court is a great place for students to stay active (or for those who simply enjoy the sand beneath their feet).
  • Football and Soccer Fields – the well-maintained and irrigated playing fields are used by community members and students for intramurals, practices, and league play.
  • Baseball Field – early or late in the school year, you’ll often see students throwing the ball around or playing a game of softball on the baseball field.
  • Outdoor Running Track – surrounding the football field, the 400-metre track is perfect for those who enjoy running outdoors.
