The Bakersfield College Athletic Department was established in 1922. For 97 years it has provided student athletes with opportunities to compete for one of the most storied community college sports programs in the country – The Bakersfield College Renegades. The Gil Bishop Sports Center, Memorial Stadium, The Dean and Adah Gay Sports Complex, Gerry Collis Field, and the BC Tennis Courts are home to 20 sports teams (10 men’s and 10 women’s) populated by approximately 500 student athletes per academic year.
Representing BC as an intercollegiate competitor is a privilege that comes with great responsibility. Those wishing to participate must be enrolled in at least 12 units per semester while maintaining a 2.0 grade point average. Student Athletes also must attend regular practices in season, travel to out of town competitions, and keep themselves in peak physical condition at the direction of award-winning coaches and certified athletic trainers who specialize in injury prevention.
These standards have led to 181 conference championships, 15 state championships, and 10 national championships. Renegade student athletes routinely transfer to four-year NCAA and NAIA schools, and have gone on to professional careers in Major League Baseball, the National Football League, the NBA, and foreign professional leagues, as well as coaching at every level of athletics.
BC currently fields Women’s teams in basketball, cross- country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, and beach volleyball. Men compete in baseball, basketball, cross-country, football, golf, soccer, swimming, tennis, track and field, and wrestling. BC Athletics is governed by the California Community College Athletic Association, and is a member of the Western State Conference, Southern California Football Association, and the Southern California Wrestling Alliance.
