Championship Clinic

** CLINIC IS FULL **

The University of Nebraska at Kearney Health and Sports Center has been the home of Loper basketball, volleyball and wrestling events since August of 1990. The 6,000-seat arena was opened after spending nearly 30 years in Cushing Coliseum.

The cost of the project was $10.8 million and was funded by Nebraska Legislature cigarette tax revenues, student fees and private donations. Gracing the Health and Sports Center's west entrance is artist John Raimondi's 20-foot sculpture, “Athleta.”

The air-conditioned arena contains four scoreboards and an outstanding sound system. Elevators exist for handicap access. The arena has hosted numerous concerts and athletic events, including the 1995 & 2007 NCAAź Division II National Wrestling Championships and 1996 NCAAź Division II Northwest Regional Volleyball Championships, and the NCAAź Division II Volleyball National Championships in 2005. The arena seated capacity crowds on three consecutive nights for the 2005 Volleyball Championships, including the largest crowd in NCAAź Division II history to watch a volleyball match, 5025.
