Montgomery College Athletics

Montgomery College competes in the NCCAA, a Christian college athletic association that emphasizes character development alongside competition. The Raptors field teams in 7 varsity sports with 126 total athletes, representing less than 1% of the school's 13,519 students. Athletic scholarships total $192,022, providing modest financial support across all programs. Community colleges typically focus on developing transfer students and local talent rather than building major sports traditions. The NCCAA division allows for competitive play while maintaining academic priorities. Most Montgomery College athletes use sports as a stepping stone to four-year universities or as personal enrichment during their two-year programs. The small athletic program reflects the school's primary mission as an academic transfer institution serving the diverse Washington DC metro area.
