Grossmont College Athletics

The Griffins compete as an independent community college with 293 athletes across 14 varsity sports, meaning about 2.6% of the 11,467 students participate in athletics. As an independent program, Grossmont doesn't belong to a formal conference but competes against other California community colleges in sports like basketball, baseball, and soccer. The school offers no athletic scholarships, which is typical for community colleges where sports serve as stepping stones to four-year programs rather than major revenue generators. Many Grossmont athletes use their two years to develop skills before transferring to universities. The athletic program focuses on providing opportunities for students to compete while completing their associate degrees or preparing for transfer to four-year institutions.
