About SAU Virtual Sports
Saint Augustine's University (SAU) formally started its virtual sports program during the Spring semester of 2021. The school first competed in virtual sports through its cycling team, the first HBCU cycling team in the country.
SAU has positioned itself as a national and international leader in virtual sports. With a new simulation and virtual sports suite opened in late 2020, SAU will compete in virtual cycling, rowing, golf, and motorsports events. The program is supported through new curriculum and coursework in esports, simulation sports, and sports technology.

While there is not a strict definition, generally speaking, “virtual or simulation sports” refer to esports that require similar skill & fitness as the “real sport” counterpart.
