History

The school won eleven NCAA national championships: two in women's volleyball and nine tennis championships (two men's and seven women's). In its early days, BYU–H also won a National Rugby Championship in 1967, as declared by the Los Angeles Rugby Union.[2] Basketball and volleyball games were held in the George Q. Cannon Activities Center. The campus also holds nine tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, and soccer and softball fields.[3] Most conference home games in volleyball and women's basketball as well as additional home games in men's basketball were broadcast live around the world on BYUtv Sports. The Seasiders ended their athletic programs after the 2016–17 season.[4][5][6]
