Founded in 2001, the soccer program at Patrick Henry College fills a crucial place in student life at PHC. For some, playing soccer provides a necessary athletic outlet amid the rigors of academics. For others, no semester is complete without cheering for our Sentinels in blue on the soccer field.
The Patrick Henry College women’s soccer team, the Sentinels, competes against a diverse group of colleges along the East Coast. Players on the team come from all across the country with a variety of skills and experience levels. The women’s team provides the opportunity to play soccer at the inter-collegiate level while participating in a rigorous education. The team plays 8-12 games a season and welcomes new players to try out every year.
PHC hosts a number of intramural tournaments each year from basketball to tennis. Outside of organized tournaments, we are also equipped to offer the space and equipment for pickup games in sports such as racquetball, volleyball, and wallyball.
