Go Big Blue: Spartan Athletics at M State

As a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association, M State offers women’s intercollegiate volleyball, golf, softball, and basketball, and men’s intercollegiate football, golf, baseball, and basketball. M State Fergus Falls also offers bowling, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and ping-pong through the intramural program.
With a beautiful, inviting campus and access to such stunning sports venues like Pebble Lake Golf Course, Spartan Athletics and team sports at M State Fergus Falls offer exciting opportunities and entertainment for players and spectators. In the college’s fifty+ year history, Spartans have traveled all over the state and country and participated in state tournaments, conference and national championships. In fact, the Spartans have qualified for more national tournament trips in basketball than any other college in the Minnesota College Athletic Conference. The Spartan golfers recently won their fourth consecutive Region XIII and MCAC Championships. Go Big Blue!
Our full-time Spartan coaches focus on maintaining high academics, so our excellent students will be excellent athletes. They aim to have their athletes involved in the community through campus student senate, intramural games, and volunteer programs such as Spartan Buddy Basketball Program, Special Olympics, and Youth Sports Events. In fact, Spartan athletes and coaches were recently recognized at the 2015 All Sports Banquet, and an overwhelming majority were stars on the field, in the classroom, and in the community.
Coaches also encourage Spartan values and qualities that M State students can carry onward as they explore career opportunities or transfer to four-year schools and athletics programs. Such qualities include strong moral character, great work ethic, a winner’s attitude, athletic ability, belief in teamwork, a strong desire to grow and develop, and a great spirit of fun and enthusiasm.
Our coaches have built a legacy on training athletic excellence with an eye towards tradition. We have had athletes who perform and eventually have kids which attend M State to follow in the footsteps of their parents- how exciting is that?
At M State Fergus Falls, Spartan athletes shine big and bright on and off the field. Get more information on the Spartan Athletics program along with information on team sport rosters, news items, coaches, and schedules on our sports page.

M State Spartan Blue Out



Making it to the playoffs in any sport is seriously impressive. Hosting a home playoff game is an added bonus.

But, what if we said home playoff game is the first in over two decades?

This is the situation here at M State Fergus Falls this weekend - and the excitement is nothing short of contagious!

This Saturday, our own Spartan football team will be hosting Minnesota West in the MCAC playoffs, and the Fergus Falls Journal reports that the amount of enthusiasm has soared to heights not seen in quite some time. In fact, it’s inspired some action by M State students and faculty in the form of “Blue Out.”

“Blue Out” is simple; all M State students and fans are encouraged to show up on campus at noon for the ladies’ home volleyball game, in advance of the 1pm football kickoff, donning their favorite Spartan apparel - or anything in royal blue - to fill the landscape with school spirit. The first 250-300 attending fans could walk away with new Spartans gear, too.

Check out this fantastic article put together by the Fergus Falls Journal, including feedback on “Blue Out” from faculty and staff, and you’ll see why we’re so excited! 

Attendees are encouraged to live tweet events and activities @MState_Fergus using #BlueOut!

Good luck Spartans - we’ll be rooting for you!
