The athletics program is an integrated part of the College's total curriculum. Here
athletics interact with academics – they are co-curricular, not extracurricular. Unlike
at many institutions, coaches at Springfield College do more than coach.
As faculty members and academic advisors, they also teach in the classroom and
their "classrooms" extend to the playing fields and beyond. In their roles as
teacher-coaches, they work with students and student-athletes alike to help them
develop to their fullest potential.
The influence of this great teaching/coaching tradition obviously has had a
powerful impact: approximately 200 of the College's graduates hold intercollegiate
head coaching positions. Springfield College takes great pride in a nationwide
reputation as a training-ground for coaches, athletic directors, and athletic trainers.

The YMCA and Springfield enjoy a relationship that began in 1885 with the
establishment of Springfield as the YMCA Training School. Many Springfield graduates
work for the YMCA. The YMCA office promotes hiring and internships, informs students
of job and scholarship opportunities, advises students on course selection for YMCA
careers, and works closely with the campus YMCA Club to facilitate professional
contacts and attend professional meetings of YMCA directors.
