Hudson Valley Community College Athletics

Hudson Valley competes in the NCCAA, a national Christian college association that emphasizes character development alongside competition. The Vikings field 19 varsity sports with 316 total athletes, meaning about 5% of the 6,359 students participate in athletics. The college offers no athletic scholarships, focusing instead on academics and personal growth through sports. Hudson Valley's athletic programs serve as a gateway for students who want competitive experience while completing their associate degrees. The Vikings compete against other community colleges and smaller four-year institutions in the Northeast. With nearly 98% of students coming from New York, most athletes are local products who appreciate the opportunity to play close to home while building skills for potential transfer to four-year programs with stronger athletic traditions.
