Glen Oaks Community College Athletics

Glen Oaks competes in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA), a smaller division that emphasizes Christian values alongside athletic competition. The Raiders field 6 varsity sports with 80 total athletes, meaning about 14% of the 577-student body participates in athletics. The college distributed $159,189 in athletic scholarships across all sports. As a small rural community college in southwestern Michigan, Glen Oaks uses athletics primarily to build campus community rather than generate major revenue or national attention. The NCCAA provides a competitive outlet that aligns with the college's mission while keeping costs manageable. With only 104 students living on campus, home games create intimate atmospheres where teammates, classmates, and local community members can easily support the Raiders in their athletic endeavors.
