At Nassau, there's almost always somebody playing games. . . . .
Football, volleyball, men's and women's soccer, tennis, and cross country in the fall. Wrestling, bowling, track, men's and women's basketball in the winter. Baseball, softball, golf, tennis, track and field, and men's and women's lacrosse in the spring.
And you thought only four-year schools had big sports programs!
Not only does Nassau offer a full menu of intercollegiate sports, its teams routinely excel. NCC's football team has had winning seasons, including several undefeated ones, going back more than two decades. Men's lacrosse has won more than 20 national titles and is a regular in NJCAA title games. The wrestling team has not only won NJCAA championships the past two years but produced a ton of All Americans in different weight classes.
A sports fan's delight? You bet.
But that's not all.
For students into playing sports (as opposed to just watching), Nassau's intramurals program offers an array of athletic activities. A typical semester features flag football, dodgeball, and three-on-three basketball, along with a host of co-ed team sports--volleyball, tennis, racquetball, soccer, and handball. There are also individual competitions, such as fast pitch, three point, and slam dunk contests, open to the entire student body.
Most intramural activities take place in the Phys Ed Complex during club hours (11:30 a.m.-12:45 p.m.) on Tuesdays and Thursdays. It doesn't cost anything to participate, and you don't have to be a super athlete--just someone interested in fun, fitness, and friendship.
You can find out more about both intercollegiate and intramural sports, including schedules and start times, on the NCC homepage (www.ncc.edu/studentlife) under "Athletics" and "Intramural Sports." The action gets going early--first week of September in most cases--so don't miss out.
Whether you're a diehard fan, a gym rat, or somebody who just likes to work up a sweat now and then, you'll find a home in NCC's Phys Ed Complex.
