Athletics

At Life West, there are many different opportunities to be involved with sports and athletics at various levels of competition. Life West has a nationally-recognized rugby program with men’s and women’s teams that compete in some of the most prominent club tournaments in the country. The school also offers chances to participate in local leagues and pick-up games as well.

Rugby

Founded in late-2013, the Life West rugby program has quickly grown into one of the top club teams in the western United States. Both the men’s and women’s squads have emerged as contenders for national titles on an annual basis, and participation at these competition allows the school to spread chiropractic to a wider audience.

Sports Performance Institute

Professional athletes often have a chiropractor providing regular care as part of their normal training routine. Life West students can choose to attend sporting events with faculty members who specialize in adjusting athletes in order to gain experience and knowledge in this area.

They can also participate in the Life West Sports Performance Institute. The Sports Performance Institute has longstanding partnerships with Dew Tour and AVPFirst, and students who participate in the program gain valuable experience providing hands-on care to world-class athletes.

Student Council Athletics Activities

The Life West Student Council encourages the development of both the mind and body. The Student Council Athletic Director creates a variety of athletic opportunities throughout the year such as intramural activities, inter-class competitions, recreational activities and special events (including trips to professional games in the Bay Area).
