Since 2005 HCC has been providing sports for Men and Women all across their campuses.

Since 2005 HCC has been able to create different leagues that gives you the ability to travel and play various team. Also, they are able to compete in different tournaments that are outside of Houston and the ability to compete with other HCC campuses. According to HCC students are required to have a minimum 2.0 to participate in the sport programs and also be enrolled into one class, one advantage for everyone who wants to get recognized in sports.
