The
Athletic and Recreation Program at Naugatuck Valley
Community College is designed to meet the lifetime needs of the individual
as student and person. Courses
develop the basic skills and methodologies required for good physical and
mental health. Courses have
been recognized for transfer credit to four-year institutions.
Our philosophy of physical
development includes intercollegiate and recreational sports programs. These are a part of a network of services to meet the
interest of a very diverse local student body in terms of sex, age and
interests in our local service area.
Students are able to further their educational plans and enhance
their athletics experience and goals.
Towards this end, the college promotes the concept of good
sportsmanship, teamwork and expects that its students embrace these ides.
Interest and budget determine the scope of athletic s and
recreational sports activities. A
base budget is provided. Participants
are encouraged to raise funds as needed as provided under college policies
and guidelines. If students
wish to develop a club sport, they may do so throughout the Student Senate.
Athletics and recreation sports are provided to meet the leisure time
needs of students. The
college provides programs with the intent to appeal to a vast majority of
the Naugatuck Valley Community College population.
Recreational sports are provided at a lower level of intensity and
based on student interest and participation and vary from year to year.
Intercollegiate athletics are intended to develop those students
who wish to compete between and among other colleges.
