Nomination Process | Nomination Form

The objective of the Massasoit Community College Athletic Department is to provide students with the highest athletic, academic, and social experience. Our goal is to achieve competitive success in every program and develop and maintain an environment that promotes sportsmanship, teamwork, compliance, equity, and diversity. We strive to provide quality leadership and management to help our teams achieve a positive level of success.

Athletics has always been a mainstay at Massasoit offering six varsity sports; men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s baseball, and women’s softball, as well as offering golf, hockey, tennis, and women’s volleyball in the past. Teams and individuals have found success at local levels as well as national levels. Massasoit student-athletes have consistently been singled out for academic and athletic merit through league, All Region and All American recognition.

The Massasoit Hall of Fame is being conceived on the basis that many individuals have bestowed honor and recognition upon both themselves and Massasoit as a result of their participation in Massasoit athletics. The purpose of the Athletic Hall of Fame is to appropriately recognize these people and their accomplishments.
