SINCLAIR TARTAN PRIDE ATHLETICS

Welcome to the Sinclair Community College Athletic Department. Through competitive and academic experiences, the Athletic Department assists Sinclair students in the development of character and behavior that will allow them to be successful in the classroom, in competition, and in life. Sinclair is a member of the Ohio Community College Athletic Association (OCCAC) and a member, of good standing, in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). We have been successful at the conference, regional, and national levels in all five competitive varsity sports. We are extremely proud of our past success and look to recruiting talented student-athletes that allow Sinclair future success in the classroom, the community, and on the field of competition.

Mission Statement:

The Great in the 3 C's Program focuses on the core of what we believe a well rounded college athlete must aspire to, in order to benefit from a positive college experience. Also, the Great in the 3 C's Program requires dedication to the three elements of our program: classroom commitment, community service, and competitive excellence.
