June 2022

SUNY Schenectady will be suspending their men’s and women’s basketball program until further notice. The College has been without a home court for over a year due to the lingering impacts of the pandemic, severely impacting our ability to recruit players and field competitive teams. This was a very difficult decision and we want to extend our thanks and appreciation to our coaches and student-athletes for their dedication over the past few years. 

Welcome to the Royals Athletic Program

At SUNY Schenectady County Community College (SUNY Schenectady) we value and respect the hard work of our students in and out of the classroom-that’s why we are proud to offer many intercollegiate athletics programs at the College. SUNY Schenectady is open to all students meeting the eligibility requirements of the National Junior College of Athletics Association (NJCAA), the College and Athletics Office. SUNY Schenectady has varsity teams in men’s and women’s bowling, men’s baseball and women's crew as our intercollegiate offerings at the college. We are proud to be part of the National Junior College Athletics Association Region III Conference.

The Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act

This act requires co-educational institutions of postsecondary education that participate in a Title IV, federal student financial assistance program, and have an intercollegiate athletic program, to prepare an annual report to the U.S. Department of Education on athletic participation, staffing, and re venues and expenses, by men’s and women’s teams. The Department will use this information in preparing its required report to the Congress on gender equity in intercollegiate athletics. SUNY Schenectady County Community College is in compliance with the Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act. Annually the College reports information about all our intercollegiate athletic programs. Equity in athletics data is now available to all current and prospective students and the general public on the Web at https://ope.ed.gov/athletics and the Director of Athletics office on campus.
