Program Review Update 2013-14ATHLETICS

(Report Due: October 15, 2014)

Program Description (source: Faculty)College of the Desert (COD) is a 2- year community college that offers 14 sports that participate in the Foothill Athletic Conference. Athletic programs at COD are sanctioned by the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) under the authority of the California State Legislature. COD offers competitive opportunities for full-time female students in Cross Country, Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, Golf, Volleyball, and Softball. Opportunities for full-time male students include Cross Country, Soccer, Basketball, Tennis, Football, Golf, and Baseball.

Since each student-athlete must be enrolled full time in at least 12 units in order to be eligible to compete, our contribution to the college averages $35,000 per year. Additionally, our combined coaching staff averages over $72,500 per year in fundraising efforts that offset the college’s obligation to equipment and supplies for program needs.

Athletics are curricular, not extracurricular, offerings at COD. Athletes are students who earn academic credit for successful completion of courses with specific content and outcomes. The purpose of our program is to recruit and retain talented coaches and students to provide opportunities for academic progress and athletic development that ultimately leads to transfer to higher education. The Athletic Department is unique in that we provide opportunities for those students who might otherwise not attend college at all were it not for their talent and interest in athletics.

We are committed to creating positive visibility that improves student connection to campus life, improved analytical and critical thinking, as well as character development through mentoring by coaches. The combination of the pursuit of excellence on the playing field is fully compatible with the pursuit of excellence in the classroom. Indeed, the combination of the two endeavors lends itself to a more complete educational experience.

Students Served (source: Faculty)The Athletic Department offers programs to a diverse group of students in an environment that embraces and promotes gender and cultural diversity among all involved; consistent with the values of COD. The total number of male athletes for all programs is 195 and the total number of female athletes for all programs is 93.

Student Success Data (source: Office of Institutional Research)

Courses: VSM, VSW 2010_11 2011_12 2012_13 2013_14

Student Success Rate: 92.8% 95.8% 91.6% 91.2%Retention Rate: 93.7% 96.8% 91.6% 92.4%Note: Success rate is the percent of students who earned a grade of A, B, C, or Cr/P in course out of total enrolled in course at census. Retention rate is the percent of students retained in course until the end of the term out of total enrolled in course at census.


Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty)We have consistently maintained above a 90% success and retention rate for our student athletes which is higher than the college average success rate at 72% and retention rate at 87.4%. FTEs have remained consistent over the past four cycles and the number of sections has stayed the same.

Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty)Manzoni is considered a full time golf coach although his primary teaching load falls in the business department. Currently, the only full time coach teaching in the kinesiology department is Doussett. Fall 2014 will be the last semester Doussett will coach. The total number of head coaches is 12 and assistant coaches is 30 for a grand total of 42 coaches. The Athletics Department has a FT to PT faculty ratio of 2 to 42, which is below the college average.

Facilities (source: Faculty)1) List of all facilities (Please indicate if any of these were added last year):Football stadium, practice football field, soccer field, practice softball field, baseball field, stadium locker room, golf range, Simonds Center, Sports Medicine Center, and the new gym which was added 2014.2) Assessment of adequacy of current facilities:All athletic fields need improvements to bring them up to standard especially in the areas of lighting, storage, and shade structures. Additionally, softball is in dire need of a concrete foundation for the batting cage in order to be able to use the new pitching machine.


Equipment and Supplies (source: Faculty)The Sports Medicine Center is in need of several pieces of new equipment: a crushed ice maker, golf cart with a bed for transporting supplies and injured athletes, and two therapeutic whirlpools. The fields are in need of two coach’s towers for filming and play calling as well as two cargo containers for storage. Basketball is in need of a Shoot-A-Way for practice and the softball field needs wind screens. Finally, several technology items have been identified from our Small Donor Initiative list (see appendix).

Program Challenges (source: Faculty working with Dean)One of the major challenges in athletics is in athletic training. In order to become compliant with stringent regulations from both the NATA, CCCATA, and CCCAA organizations we need more staffing in the Sports Medicine Center:

1 full time athletic trainer 2 part time athletic trainers

Another major challenge is the lack of full time coaches. A good start to help move the athletics department forward would be to have at least 2 full time head coaches, one for a women’s sport and one for a men’s sport contingent on the establishment and approval of a faculty/coach policy.Additionally, we need a full time equipment manager and a full time sports information specialist.

Report on completion of program objectives last year (objectives were specified on PRU two years ago) Other Program Accomplishments (source: Faculty)A PRU was not completed in the last cycle so there is no completion of program objectives to report.

Current Program Objectives (taken from last year’s PRU)1. No current program objectives.

Program Objectives for next year (source: Faculty, working with Dean as needed)1. Concrete foundation for softball batting cage.2. Athletic training equipment including crushed ice maker, golf cart with bed, and

two therapeutic whirlpools.3. Two coach’s towers for fields.4. Shoot-A-Way for basketball practices.5. Two cargo containers for field storage.6. Technology items from Small Donor Initiative list.7. 1 full time and 2 part time Athletic Trainers.8. 1 full time coach of women’s sport and 1 full time coach of men’s sport

contingent on the establishment of a fair, consistent faculty/coach policy.9. Sport’s Information Specialist10. A full time equipment manager/ISA.
