Welcome to the Yuba College Athletic Hall of Fame website. Yuba College has a long, rich history of athletics, and the Hall of Fame aspires to honor that tradition with this annual event.

The process of initiating this exciting event began in 1995.  A group of former and present Yuba College employees and Yuba/Sutter area residents agreed to serve on the Hall of Fame committee. This group met regularly prior to that first Induction Ceremony where they organized and developed a nomination and selection process. With the help of many individuals we have compiled a nomination list of potential inductees.  We are aware that the list is not complete, and we will continue to add names of potential inductees yearly.  It has been a very informative and rewarding process for all of us who serve on the committee.

The primary goal of the Yuba College Athletic Hall of Fame is to permanently recognize individuals and teams for outstanding athletic contribution and/or participation at Yuba College.

The Hall of Fame committee encourages nominations. Nominations will be accepted at any time, but to be considered for the next Class of Inductees, the nominations need to be submitted by the Nov 1 date prior to the ceremony.
