Goshen
College student-athletes train and compete in one of
the best small college athletic
facilities in the nation. The Roman Gingerich Recreation-Fitness
Center, which opened in 1995, is home to the Maple Leafs’ 14
intercollegiate athletic teams and is one of the newest
additions to an ever-growing college campus. The $7.3
million facility houses a variety of athletic and fitness-related
activities. Whether you are a member of the golf team
hitting balls on the indoor range or a basketball player
running on the 200-meter indoor track, the Gingerich
Center offers athletes every chance to train and compete
successfully.
The luxury of such a large athletic training facility
allows athletes to train when their schedule permits.
The recreation-fitness center is open from 5 a.m. to
11 p.m. throughout the week, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday,
and 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday. With these hours, athletes
also have the opportunity to train and compete without
sacrificing their academic pursuits. During their respective
seasons, Goshen teams can all take advantage of the facility
in a three-hour time frame and are not forced to practice
at odd hours. The spring sports season brings five Goshen
teams into the facility at one time. The golf team is
able to hit balls in one area, while the softball team
takes cuts in the batting cage, the baseball team has
infield practice and the track-and-field squad trains
on the indoor track. Not many institutions can boast
of such an efficient use of time or space, and that is
one reason Goshen has continued to excel both athletically
and academically.
In addition to these indoor facilities, Goshen College
also boasts some of the finest outdoor playing fields
in the nation. The baseball, softball and soccer stadiums
all are equipped with automatic, in-ground irrigation
systems while the 1,500-seat soccer complex is one of
the few lighted soccer stadiums at the NAIA level.
