Even while on spring break, our students continue training and competing with a meet last Friday at Santa Rosa Junior College and upcoming meets at Stanford, Sac State, and Mt San Antonio College the next three weekends before our Big 8 Conference championships.

College of Alameda is excited to share that we have a new Athletic Director joining us for 2021-2022. Please join me in welcoming Director Vaughn.

Exciting things are always happening at the Peralta Colleges.  For the past year, most of these exciting things have been "virtual" but that is starting to change.  On March 31, 2021, the women of the Laney College Water Polo team hosted a scrimmage against Las Positas College.  This scrimmage was the first Peralta Sports Event since the Alameda County sheltering in place order began to protect us from the spread of COVID-19.
