Philosophy

Participation in the Intercollegiate Athletics Program at OCC can contribute significantly to the overall college experience.

Integrity, values and standards, are the cornerstone of the day-to-day operations of the program.

In our attempt to provide a quality, competitive program, the Athletics Department will at all times adhere to the rules and regulations of the college, NJCAA and the MCCAA.

Intercollegiate athletics can command extraordinary visibility and identification for the college, but must achieve these ends in a manner consistent with the educational philosophy of the institution.

Athletics, as an educational component, provides unique opportunities in a practical setting for learning and developing physical abilities, gaining social skills and provide leadership opportunities.
