Athletic Director Welcome

Welcome to Compton College Athletics!

Dear Student Athletes, Families, and Supporters,

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to the Compton College Athletics family. As Director of Athletics, I am honored to lead a program rooted in tradition, driven by excellence, and committed to the success of every student athlete who wears the Compton College uniform.

At Compton College, we view athletics as a powerful extension of the educational experience. Our efforts are clear: to recruit, matriculate, retain, educate, and graduate exceptional student athletes. This sequence represents our commitment to developing well-rounded individuals who excel both on the field and in the classroom.

• We recruit talented and driven student athletes who are ready to embrace the challenge of collegiate athletics.

• We matriculate those individuals through our enrollment process into a structured environment that fosters academic, athletic, and personal growth.

• We retain our student athletes by providing comprehensive support systems, including academic advising, mentoring, and athletic development resources.

• We educate by instilling discipline, teamwork, and resilience—values that extend far beyond sports.

• And most importantly, we graduate our student athletes, prepared to lead with purpose in their careers, communities, and lives.

As a department, we strive to uphold integrity, equity, and excellence in all we do. Whether you're a new recruit or a returning Compton College Coyote, know that you are part of a proud legacy and a bright future. Together, we will continue to raise the standard for what it means to be a student athlete.

I look forward to celebrating your achievements, both on and off the field. Welcome to the Compton College Athletics family—we’re glad to have you with us.

Go Compton!

Tim
