The women’s basketball team at Contra Costa College exists on the principle of academics before athletics. Former players agree that participating in the women’s basketball program at CCC is an exciting life-changing experience — one that helps prepare them for the responsibilities of adulthood.

“While the team has had great success through the years on the court, it is always striving for great success in the classroom too. The bonds formed between players create a family-like atmosphere in the program, and the coaches are dedicated to helping their student-athletes complete their academic plans at CCC and transfer to four-year universities — whether they continue playing basketball or not.”
