Cochise College Athletics

Cochise College Athletics enjoys a solid reputation for quality competition and exceptional student athletes. Cochise recruits athletes from across the Southwest to compete in women's soccer, men's and women's basketball, baseball, and men's and women's rodeo. Coaches regard academics as a high priority and encourage the development of both the person and the player. In addition to organized study programs, our athletes have the advantage of some of the best practice and playing weather in the country.

Some highlights include:

  • The 2006-2007 women’s soccer team qualified for the ACCAC playoffs for the eighth consecutive year and became the fifth Cochise team in the last five seasons to reach at least the NJCAA Region 1 semi-finals.
  • The 2006-2007 men's rodeo team was Grand Canyon Region reserve champion and included the men's all-around regional champion, regional champion saddle bronc rider, and regional champion bareback rider. The 2005-2006 women's team finished as Grand Canyon Region Reserve Champions.
  • The men’s basketball team finished the 2006-2007 season 20-12 and third in the ACCAC and advanced to the Region I playoffs for the 11th consecutive season. All five sophomores graduated with associate degrees and landed scholarships to four-year institutions. The team won another NJCAA Academic Team of the Year Award, finishing fourth in the nation with a 3.12 team grade point average.
  • In 2005-2006, the women’s basketball team finished 15-15 overall and 13-9 in the conference. The team was the Region I runner up.
  • The men's baseball team won the 2007 ACCAC championship with a 43-18 record and finished the season seventh in the nation. The Apaches won a school record 16 consecutive games, ranked as high as second in national polls, and reached the Region 1 championship series for the third time in four years. All eight sophomores and two freshmen moved onto the Division 1 and Division 2 levels. Former Apaches will play for the University of Arizona and defending national champion Oregon State University. 

The College is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association and the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association. Athletics are housed at the Douglas Campus, a full-service campus that includes residence halls; a gymnasium with men’s and women’s locker rooms and full weight training and physical education labs; an outdoor swimming pool; well-manicured baseball and soccer playing fields; and full-service rodeo grounds with arenas, practice stock, a bucking machine and complete facilities for storing horses, feed and tack. An athletic trainer is on hand during practice and competition to care for injuries.

Many Cochise College athletes go on to compete at four-year institutions, and some have continued to play at the professional and semi-professional levels.
