Athletics

Participating in athletics — or just supporting your college’s teams — is a favorite part of college life for many students.

In collegiate sports, you can learn how to compete at an elite level. But you will also learn skills that can help you in all parts of your life. Through athletics, you can develop lifelong skills in fitness, collaboration, competition, teamwork and organization.

Even if you are not an athlete, try attending an athletic event or two. Support your friends on the team. You will have a greater sense of school belonging, pride and commitment.

Dallas College offers comprehensive intercollegiate athletics and intramural offerings. Dallas College Athletics is sanctioned by NJCAA.
