Athletics at Grossmont College is a form of education through intense physical training, activities, and competition; all of which are with full regard to values of fair play, teamwork, human growth and physical development. Athletics is a facet of the total educational programs offered at Grossmont College. Therefore, the Athletic Department strives for the same goals that give purpose to all the other learning experiences of the college and the development of students as responsible and contributing members of our community and global society.
