The
CHAMPIONS CLUB was initiated to help support Northampton's 13 intercollegiate athletic teams. The athletic program at Northampton includes over 150 student-athletes and will continue to grow with the addition of men's and women's cross country and men's and women's golf in 2026-27. The growth and vitality of Northampton Community College and its athletics program is an important piece of the college experience, not just for the student-athletes, but the overall campus community as well.
As a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), Northampton prides itself in providing student-athletes with opportunities to prepare, compete, succeed and achieve in their academic and athletic disciplines.
"The Champions Club will help propel our efforts forward as we hope to provide philanthropic support for our intercollegiate athletics programs while connecting with alumni and the community to set our student-athletes up for success during and after their athletic and academic experiences at Northampton," said Troy Tucker, Director of Athletics, "with the growth of our athletics program and the opportunities we seek to provide our student-athletes, it is imperative that we find ways to support our programs at the highest level."
The Champions Club will operate with four main tenets:
- Connect: The Champions Club seeks to connect with various Northampton Community College stakeholders to build a better future for our student-athletes. With the growth and development of intercollegiate athletics at the NJCAA Division III level, the opportunity has presented itself to connect with alumni, community and those who cherish their memories at Northampton, to help better serve our present and future student-athletes. Champions Club members will enjoy staying connected via consistent communication, social media and other outlets to celebrate our student-athletes and our rich athletic history.
- Celebrate: The Champions Club celebrates the successes of our student-athletes, past and present, both in and out of the classroom. Intercollegiate Athletics welcomes opportunities to connect present student-athletes with alumni and community members.
- Enhance: The Champions Club seeks to enhance the visibility of Northampton Athletics in the community, across the state, and throughout the region.
- Support: The Champions Club looks to build a philanthropic spirit to propel our present and future student-athletes to new heights on conference, regional and national levels.
Funds received through the Champions Club will be utilized at the discretion of the Director of Athletics to enhance budgets for travel, gear, educational experiences and other costs associated with making Northampton teams more competitive and successful on the NJCAA Division III level.
"Supporting the Champions Club is vital to the present and future success Northampton Athletics," added Tucker, "The central focus of our growth is to ensure that student-athletes have a great experience over their two years of competition and are set up for success after graduation."
