Coastal Alabama Community College Athletics

The Coyotes compete in the NJCAA, the main athletic association for community colleges that offers scholarships and serious competition without the intensity of Division I programs. About 6% of Coastal Alabama's 4,714 students participate in varsity athletics across 13 sports. The college awards $2,003,587 in athletic scholarships annually, making sports a viable pathway for students seeking affordable education. NJCAA athletics provide a middle ground between high school and four-year college sports, often serving as a stepping stone for athletes hoping to transfer to Division I or II programs. With a 15:1 student-faculty ratio, student-athletes receive personal attention both in the classroom and on the field. The athletic program helps build school spirit on a campus where two-thirds of students are women and most come from Alabama.
