California Association of Community Colleges

Commission on Athletics (COA)--Official Website of the California Community Colleges, featuring all sports, including basketball for men and women, polls, league standings, scores, news and more. The 106 California Community Colleges (governed by 71 different administrative agencies known as "Community College Districts") constitute the single largest educational institution in the world. Member colleges play within the California Association of Community Colleges.  Even though many of the charter members of the National Junior College Athletic Association came from the California Community College ranks, no California JC currently participates as a member of the NJCAA.  While the NJCAA schools compete for a "national championship" in Hutchinson, Kansas each year, the California Community Colleges compete in Regional Playoffs and for the California State J.C. Championship.

National Junior College Athletic Assn. Links

NJCAA--National Junior College Athletic Association--The official JC Association site for all states except California

The NJCAA was officially formed on May 14, 1938. The schools responsible for the original formation of the NJCAA were predominately Southern California schools: Bakersfield, Chaffey, Compton, Fullerton, Glendale, Los Angeles, Pasadena, Riverside, Sacramento, San Bernadino, San Mateo, Santa Monica, and Visalia; interestingly, none of these schools participates any longer in the NJCAA, but instead are members of the California Association of Community Colleges.

The first competition was not in basketball, but in Track & Field, with meets held in Sacramento. In 1945, the NJCAA, gave its approval to Compton Community College to hold an invitational basketball tournament. The tournament quickly grew into a national level tournament and within two years was drawing teams from across the country. The NJCAA thereafter determined to sponsor a national basketball program, which more than 50 years later now consists of a series of annual regional tournaments and a national championship tournament in Hutchinson, Kansas. In 1962, the NJCAA Basketball program became a member of the Basketball Federation of the United States, and in 1968 the NJCAA conducted its own Olympic tryouts from among its members, fielding a team which competed in Albuquerque that year at the Olympic qualifying games.
