A combination of talented student athletes, quality coaching and
outstanding facilities makes athletics at CCBC Essex a unique and
rewarding experience. Our athletic teams compete for state, regional and
national championships in nine sports. Situated on approximately 147
acres in eastern Baltimore County, Maryland, CCBC Essex is considered to
have one of the best intercollegiate athletic programs in National
Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) history. Essex has won nine
NJCAA national championships including the 2004 Men's Lacrosse
Championship.
As a member of Region XX of the National
Junior College Athletic Association and the
Maryland Junior College Athletic Conference, CCBC Essex has had over 100
NJCAA All-Americans while also preparing students for future academic
and athletic experiences at four-year institutions.
The men's programs compete in soccer,
basketball, lacrosse,
baseball, and golf. The women participate in
soccer, volleyball, golf and
lacrosse.
ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY
At CCBC Essex, the goal of the athletic staff is to develop total
student athletes - students who can compete successfully both in the
classroom and in their athletic endeavors. Our teams frequently finish
in the top quarter in their region; numerous players make the all-region
teams; and many have achieved All-American status. Many of the sophomore
student athletes continue their education at four-year institutions; and
some have received academic All-American honors. By promoting the
College’s Learning First mission, the Knights’
coaches take pride in representing CCBC Essex with outstanding
sportsmanship, numerous victories, and the academic successes of their
student athletes.
NJCAA ELIGIBILITY
The eligibility rules for an incoming student at CCBC Essex can be very
