College of Southern Nevada Athletics

The College of Southern Nevada competes in the NJCAA, which represents junior college athletics with moderate scholarships and local community interest. Just 180 athletes participate across 9 varsity sports at this community college of 27,790 students, meaning less than 1% of the student body plays varsity athletics. The Coyotes distribute $242,722 in athletic scholarships annually across all sports. NJCAA athletics focus more on player development and transfer preparation than major competition, serving students who plan to continue at four-year universities. The athletic program remains small relative to the school's massive enrollment, reflecting CSN's primary mission as an affordable stepping stone for Las Vegas area students rather than a sports-focused institution.
