Desert Conference

The Desert Conference was a junior college athletic conference with member schools located in Southern California that operated from 1961 to 1981. It was formed in 1961 with four charter members: Barstow Community College, Imperial Valley College, Palo Verde College, and Victor Valley College.[1] The College of the Desert joined the conference in 1962.[2]

The Desert Conference was abolished by California's Commission on Athletics (COA) in 1981. In a releaguing process, the members of the conference moved to the newly-formed Foothill Conference.[3]
