The JUCO Recruit

The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) is the governing body of intercollegiate athletics for two-year colleges. As such, its programs are designed to meet the unique needs of a diverse group of student-athletes who come from both traditional and non-traditional backgrounds and whose purpose in selecting a two-year college may be as varied as their experiences before attending college.

The primary mission of the CFCC Department of Athletics is to serve the needs of CFCC students by providing quality student-athlete programs, each program being built on a foundation of integrity, excellence, and scholarship. Recognizing the value of diversity and equality, the department is committed to offering opportunity for all. Consisting of over 100 student-athletes, competing for and representing Cape Fear Community College, the program represents a variety of intercollegiate sports. CFCC’s highly visible athletics program is also strongly committed to complying with the stated guidelines of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), Title IX regulations, promoting strong academic standards, emphasizing service to school and community, and ultimately building and maintaining a reputation for supporting a program committed to opportunity and excellence. With the Department of Athletics focus on the overall development of all athletes within the college environment, this department is committed to supporting academics. Academic progress of student-athletes and the achievement of their educational objectives will be monitored, and all efforts will be made to ensure program and academic success.
