The athletics program at Paradise Valley Community College began in fall 1995 with three men’s sports (cross country, golf, and tennis) and two women’s sports (cross country, tennis). Since that time the college has added 2 additional sports for men (soccer and track & field) and 4 for women (golf, soccer, softball, and track & field).
