Student Life & Services

Intercollegiate athletics are an integral part of the College's extracurricular activities. Athletics are open to all students who meet the basic eligibility requirements of the National Junior College of Athletics Association (NJCAA), the College and the SCCC Athletics Office. SCCC is a member of the National Junior College Athletics Association Region III and the Mountain Valley Conference. Competing teams come from New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Connecticut.

For student athletes to maintain high quality academic work, regular attendance at class is required. Absence from class is considered a serious matter. Student athletes are encouraged to complete all assignments and other requirements for each course. If an absence is anticipated due to an athletic event, the student has the responsibility of informing the instructor well in advance of the event. Each student athlete must work with each of their instructors to understnd how an absence(s) due to an athletic game will count in the overall grading of each course. Each athlete is expected to demonstrate effort in their classes and to conduct themselves in an appropriate manner (both on and off campus).

The College has varsity teams in:

• Men's Basketball
• Women's Basketball
• Men's Bowling
• Women's Bowling
• Baseball (Men)
• Softball (Women)
• Men's Soccer

SCCC Athletic Team Name and Colors:
Effective August 1, 1998, the SCCC Board of Trustees approved the recommendation to rename the SCCC athletic teams to the ROYALS. The Student Government Association solicited entries from the College community for recommended name changes. From all entries submitted, four were selected to go before the community for a vote. The name, ROYALS, was recommended as a result of votes received from members of the College community-at-large. The college colors are royal blue and gold.

Contact the Athletics Department if you are interested in any athletic event or program.
