BCC Athletics Mission
The mission of intercollegiate athletics at Bellevue Community College is to provide a foundation for greater student success both during and after their years in college. The philosophy of the athletic department is to provide athletic programs (sports teams) which promote skills that are applicable towards both athletic competition and personal development. These skills, include but are not limited to; time management, social skill interaction within a diverse (age, race, and gender) population, multiple task handling, goal setting, and perseverance while attempting to reach athletic and academic goals.
Rosters for teams are filled via active recruitment of athletes who enroll at BCC to advance both educationally and athletically. The college’s financial position is strengthened by the intake of these individuals who enroll full-time at BCC for this dual purpose.
The athletic department at BCC has goals and objectives that benefit both the college and the athletes themselves.
