"Hostos Men’s Basketball Team Wins NJCAA Region XV Championship"

The Hostos Community College Men’s Basketball team captured the 2008 NJCAA Region 15 Championship. The Caimans continued their scorching hot play which included winning the CUNY Athletic title. The Hostos Community College men's basketball team will be looking to capture its second National Junior College Athletic Association Division III championship. In 2005, Hostos became the only CUNY school to capture a national championship.

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 participate 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 may 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 any 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.
