Giving to Athletics

MSSU Lions Athletics


Missouri Southern State University is proud of its student-athletes and the way that they push themselves to achieve success both on and off the field. Whether it's staying after practice or studying late for a test, they understand to accomplish greatness giving a little extra is necessary.

Lionbackers Booster Club


Since its founding in 1968, Missouri Southern has consistently produced competitive athletic programs and quality student-athletes. By becoming a part of the  Lionbacker Booster Club  you can help continue that successful tradition.

Statement of Purpose

The purpose of the Missouri Southern Lionbackers Association is to aid the athletic department in achieving its primary goals of graduating the student-athlete and fielding teams that are successfully competitive. The Lionbackers will financially support the athletic department through the purchase of Lionbacker memberships and by actively recruiting new members. The Lionbackers will grow loyal fan support through strong attendance at athletic events, by encouraging the consistent attendance of others, and by generally promoting Missouri Southern Athletics throughout Joplin and the surrounding communities.
