Community College of Philadelphia Athletics

The Community College of Philadelphia competes in the NCCAA, a faith-based athletic association that emphasizes character development alongside competition. Just 16 students participate in varsity athletics across 4 sports, representing only 0.14% of the 11,312-student body. The Lions offer no athletic scholarships, focusing instead on providing opportunities for personal growth through sports. NCCAA schools typically field smaller programs that prioritize student-athlete development over high-level competition. With two-thirds of students being women, the athletic programs likely reflect this gender distribution. The small athletic footprint aligns with CCP's mission as an urban community college serving working students and those preparing to transfer to four-year institutions.
