Welcome to the Home of the Vaqueros!
What We Do
Located on the beautiful coast of California, Santa Barbara offers the ideal climate for year-round athletics. Whether it's football in La Playa Stadium overlooking the Pacific Ocean, basketball in the Sports Pavilion or golf on one of the many beautiful courses around town, Santa Barbara has something special for all athletes. We invite you to learn more about the athletic program by clicking on the sport that interests you.
Beautiful Seaside Setting
The seaside campus of Santa Barbara City College is just steps from the beach. SBCC offers 17 sports for men and women. The Vaqueros have captured eight state titles, most recently in Women's Golf in 2006 and 2008. Like all California Community Colleges, we do not offer athletic scholarships but qualified athletes are eligible for financial aid, like all other students. We have a dedicated coaching and support staff who care about your success in the classroom as well as on the athletic field. Call or write us if you are interested in becoming a VAQUERO.
Message to SBCC Athletic Staff, Current Students and Potential Student-Athletes Regarding the Vaquero Football Program
June 18, 2009
The SBCC Football Program has violated several areas of the California Community College Athletic Association/Commission on Athletics Constitution and Bylaws (CCCAA/COA), specifically having to do with the recruitment of student-athletes. As a result, the Southern California Football Association (SCFA) has imposed on the SBCC Football Program the sanctions and penalties noted below.
The SBCC administration and coaching staff are taking all necessary steps to adhere to the CCCAA/COA Constitution and Bylaws, to implement the conditions of the sanctions that have been imposed and to ensure that the SBCC Football Program will emerge at the end of the probationary year in full compliance with all CCCAA/COA rules.
Through this probationary process, SBCC student-athletes will continue to be a part of an outstanding educational institution, providing excellent academic preparation to meet their certificate, degree, transfer and/or career-technical objectives. The 2009 football season is continuing as scheduled.
The following penalties and sanctions have been imposed on the SBCC Football Program by the SCFA under the provisions of CCCAA/COA Article 7.5.12 and are now in effect:
- All football games in the 2008 season are forfeited and the team record is reflected as 0-10 in the official SCFA 2008 final statistics.
- The 2008 co-championship of the American Pacific Conference is also forfeited.
- The SBCC football program is placed on probation for one (1) year through June 30, 2010.
- The SBCC football program is suspended from post-conference competition for the 2009 football season.
These sanctions apply to the football program only; not to any other sports at SBCC.
During the course of this probationary period, the College will develop and implement a plan to monitor all areas of the Football Program which have been in violation. Reports will be made on a regular basis to the CCCAA/COA.
Mandatory Physical Screening is needed to participate in practice
A physical screening is mandatory to participate in athletic practice and competition. When downloading the forms for a physical it must be completed by a medical doctor. Physicals are not accepted from chiropractors, physician assistants or nurse practitioners. A stamp must accompany the doctor's signature.
All physicals are good for one year from the date they were given. You must turn in a physical to the athletic training staff if you complete this before your season starts. It is advised to get your screening from your personal physician or wait and complete this with your sport on the date designated for the team.
