 The Athletics, Sports and Recreation
programs are viewed as essential components of higher education,
supplementing the educational process through enhancements of
physical and mental development. Students who participated in
recreational sports tend to develop positive self-images,
awareness of strengths, increased tolerance and self-control,
stronger social interaction skills and maturity - all learned
through recreational sports exercises.
Athletics, Sports and Recreation programs
are a vital part of the Hostos College experience. Our Athletics
Center exists to serve the entire College community by providing
the environment and means for a person to enhance his or her
quality of life through sports. Emphasis is on participation,
with a steadfast commitment to the fundamental values of fair
play and sportsmanship.
Hostos adheres strictly to the NJCAA code,
as well as CUNY Athletic Association, whereby student
participation in intercollegiate athletics is an avocation.
Athletics programs foster the physical and educational
well-being of student-athletes at all times, reflecting the
highest standards of dignity and honor that characterize
participation in competitive sports in a collegiate setting.
 Our recreational and intramural programs
offer a range of options for members of the Hostos community,
individually or as part of a team, so they achieve the physical,
mental, and social benefits of participation in athletics. The
Aquatic, Athletic and Fitness Centers are quality facilities
that have an outstanding staff, and an environment conducive to
the enrichment of community life on campus, and an allegiance to
the highest moral principles in every aspect of sportsmanship
and wellness.
In alignment with Hostos mission, we
believe that participation in athletics and recreational
programs provide excellent preparation for achievement in our
society. Participants learn how to compete effectively and with
integrity in an environment, appreciate the value and benefits
of teamwork, and how to be motivational leaders. These lessons
instill and strengthen qualities that add to success in our
students' personal development as well as their future
endeavors.
