These are the founding values upon which the Big 8 Conference was constructed. Our eight-member colleges are committed to these principles and to providing athletic experiences for students from local high schools.
The Big 8 has established itself as one of the premier conferences in California community college athletics. Currently, the Big 8 Conference offers 20 sports for men and women. Promoting all sports with equal emphasis, member colleges believe in the tenets of equitable experiences for both men and women student-athletes.
A member of the Community College League of California's Commission on Athletics, the conference has become an important and influential factor in athletic competition at conference, regional and state levels.
I invite you to use the links provided on this page to acquaint yourself with our member colleges and with the sports we offer. And as commissioner of the conference, I welcome your questions, comments and criticisms. My contact information is available on the website.
Thank you for your interest in the Big 8 Conference. We hope you will become a fan and attend one of our contests soon.
Bruce Werner, Ed.D.
