Las Positas College Athletics

Las Positas College competes as an independent program outside of major conference affiliations, fielding nine varsity sports teams. Just 2.1% of the 6,766 students participate in athletics, reflecting the typical community college focus on academics and career preparation over sports culture. The Hawks offer no athletic scholarships, which is standard for California community colleges that emphasize accessibility and transfer preparation. Independent status means Las Positas schedules games against various community colleges throughout Northern California rather than following a set conference schedule. The program serves students looking to continue playing sports while completing their general education requirements or career training. With 141 total athletes across nine sports, teams maintain smaller rosters that allow for more individual attention from coaches while students pursue their academic goals.
