Club Sports are competitive sports teams that practice weekly and compete against other colleges. While Club Sports are different than NJCAA athletics many of the same principles apply, however with Club Sports the time commitment is not as significant and there are no scholarships. Club Sports are a great way to stay involved in sports you love and get to meet other students at BCC who also love that sport.
The requirements to play a club sport at BCC vary depending on the sport you choose. You must be a BCC student in good standing with the college and be able to attend club practices and competitions.

Club Basketball rejoined the NCBBA League for the 2024-2025 season. With an established program the Falcons look to build on their success in 2025 – 2026.
First open gym is Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. Practices will begin in October.
BCC hired Coach Manu Sharma to lead the Club Basketball program for 2025 – 2026.
Sharma began his basketball journey in 1987 as an equipment manager for the Boston Celtics. He soon transitioned into coaching, starting at the MetroWest YMCA as a youth travel coach before taking on roles as the freshman head coach and varsity assistant at Framingham High School.
In 1996, Sharma became the associate head coach for men’s basketball at Newbury College. By 1999, he had taken on dual responsibilities at Bunker Hill Community College, serving as both the associate head coach for the men’s program and the head coach for women’s basketball. In 2006, Sharma made the leap to the professional ranks, coaching in the ABA with the Boston Blizzard.
With over 35 years of coaching experience at the club, high school, collegiate, and professional levels, Sharma brings a deep commitment to player development and education. He currently works at the Center for Teaching and Learning of Mathematics in Framingham, Massachusetts, and serves as Co-Director of I Believe Academy, a non-profit youth enrichment program.
Anyone interested in participating on the Club Basketball team must be a BCC student enrolled in a minimum of 9 credits in the fall and spring semesters. Club Basketball student-athletes must also maintain a 2.0 cumulative GPA. If you are a first semester student you are academically eligible until December.
2023 – 2024 Record: 2-9

BCC Club Soccer Indoor Men's League Monday Nights at Paterson
The indoor season is a good opportunity to grow numbers as we eye a return to fielding an outdoor competitive team and rejoin the NIRSA Region I Club Soccer league in the future.
This group also currently plays indoor pickup on Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. at Paterson.
BCC students interested in playing Club Soccer must only be enrolled in a class each semester of the 2024-2025 academic year. Once BCC rejoins the NIRSA Soccer League students must be enrolled in 6 credits and have a cumulative GPA at BCC of 2.0.
The Club Soccer team is currently looking for a coach.

If you love running or are looking to up your mileage join the BCC Run Club.
Overall this Club will create a running plan for each member based on your history and goals. The BCC Run Club will meet at least weekly for a workout. And after hearing our member goals we will find an event in the late Fall to work toward.
For beginner runners there will be a Couch to 5K program offered in the Spring, but the BCC Run Club may be a little too much for first timers.
We would love to have students, faculty, and staff join and participate in our Running Club.
