Taft College offers students the opportunity to participate in several intercollegiate sports. Women may participate in volleyball, basketball, and softball and men may participate in baseball and soccer. Beginning in the spring of 2017, men will be able to participate in the sport of golf and in the fall of 2017, the women will also be able to participate in the sport of golf.

Athletic eligibility rules and regulations adopted by the conference and the California Community College Athletic Association are rigidly enforced. In general, the rules require an athlete to be continuously and actively enrolled in a minimum of 12 units during the season of sport. To compete in a second season of that sport, an athlete must complete 24 units between seasons of competition, with 6 of those units being completed in the preceding academic term. The units must be completed before the beginning of the second season of the sport.

Transfers who have participated in athletics at another California Community College must complete 12 units at Taft College before becoming eligible.

Since these are only general guidelines and athletic eligibility rules are complex, questions regarding eligibility should be referred to the Athletic Director or Athletic Counselor/Advisor.
