James Madison University Athletics

Join JMU Athletics fans, friends, and the Duke Club on the road May 22 through May 25 for the 2023 JMU Coaches Caravan events — with four stops scheduled in Richmond, Virginia Beach, Alexandria and Leesburg.

The 2023 Caravan will feature JMU Director of Athletics Jeff Bourne, Football Head Coach Curt Cignetti, Men's Basketball Head Coach Mark Byington and Women's Basketball Head Coach Sean O'Regan.

Don't miss this JMU tradition and the opportunity to hear about the 2022-2023 seasons in the Sun Belt Conference, the Women's Basketball run in the NCAA Tournament, and the forecasts for next season. 

With the fall seasons on the horizon, Duke Club membership priority deadline dates are quickly approaching. The first deadline — the Football Priority Deadline — is set for May 15, when at least 50% of Duke Club membership pledges must be paid, or a payment plan must be set up, for donations related to football benefits. 

JMU Athletics and the Duke Club are proud to continue the Duke Dog Paver tradition - a legacy brick campaign that offers the JMU community the opportunity to personalize and memorialize the people, places, and experiences most important to them with a custom engraved brick on campus.

Gear up to cheer on your Dukes at the 2023 Football Spring Game, slated for Saturday, April 22 at Bridgeforth Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m., stadium gates open at noon, and admission is free to all spectators. Parking and tailgating will be available beginning at 9 a.m. 

The Duke Club and the JMU baseball program hosted the 2023 Baseball Alumni Weekend March 31 through April 2 — featuring a golf outing, recognition of the 1983 team and a pre-game tailgate — to kickoff the JMU weekend series against South Alabama.
