1 & 2. Department Mission and Philosophy:
The College of the Redwoods Athletic Department strives to provide our student-athletes
with a quality academic experience. This will ensure that all athletes are given the
guidance to aid them in meeting their educational goals and transfer requirements. Also,
the department endeavors to provide our student athletes with a quality sport experience.
This includes the maturing growth of our athletes and the intertwining of the aspects of
competing, academics and social responsibility.
A. Philosophy of Gender Equity
College of the Redwoods is committed to providing equal opportunities for all students
and staff alike by striving for and achieving compliance with state and federal Title IX
laws. See Attachment 1, California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA)
Form R-4 Statement of Compliance of Title IX Gender Equity.
B. Athletic Department Recruiting Philosophy
The department places an emphasis on the recruitment of student athletes from the local
service area. The philosophy of the department is to recruit the highest quality student
athlete available either from the local area including contiguous districts and/or through
2
prospective student athletes from outside the local area via use of the Out-of-State
Recruiting Waiver provided to the college from the CCCAA.

4. Area Summary
Athletics provides the opportunity to compete in sports at an intercollegiate level and
includes:
Instruction and coaching in practice and competition
Intercollegiate schedule of contests
Proper and safe equipment and uniforms for practice and competition
Proper and safe facilities
Proper and safe travel
Access to adequate Athletic Training and Sportsmedicine to prevent and/or
rehabilitate sports injuries
Adequate insurance for proper coverage of athletic injuries
Academic support to ensure success in meeting educational goals
5. Goals and Objectives
Progress on Current Goals
A. Academic Success Program for Student Athletes
3
Academic Progress Reports—the department issues progress report forms to each
student athlete periodically throughout the semester to monitor attendance and
performance
Student Athlete Developmental Advising—a student development advisor has
been assigned to the Athletic department to coordinate course registration,
monitor NCAA academic requirements, setting up Student Education Plans
(SEP), administer the Athletic Department tutoring/study table, meet regularly
with at risk student athletes to asses with study skills and planning, ensuring
progress towards academic goals such as transferring to a university, etc.
Academic Success Program Focus—department staff would like to see some
improvements in serving the student athlete learning group such as: providing
better access to core curriculum and classes; scheduling of core courses to not
conflict with practice times and faculty adherence to the Faculty Handbook
section pertaining to absences for athletic travel
Student Success—50 student athletes made the Honor Roll (3.0 semester grade
point average or higher) for fall semester 2010. This is the most student athletes
to make honor roll since we started tracking this in 2004.
B. Safety of Classrooms
Fields—very little has changed in improving the safety of our baseball, softball
and stadium fields. All classroom fields are in dire need of renovation. Safety of
the fields is always a concern and numerous injuries have occurred due to field
conditions. The softball and baseball fields are practically unusable in wet
weather due to their very poor drainage. This renders those fields useless for a
large portion of the spring which is during baseball and softball seasons. The
stadium field is also in need of either renovation or replacement. There are now
three teams: football, men‟s soccer and women‟s soccer which all practice and
play games on the field. Ultimately, replacing the grass with artificial turf would
be the best option. Then the field could not only easily accommodate all of the
intercollegiate practices and games, but could also accommodate an increase in
usage for instruction, student activities and community use via field rentals.
Fieldhouse—new lighting has been installed greatly improving the safety of the
facility
6. Strengths
4
Providing Opportunity to a Diverse Population of Student Athletes: our
department continues to serve a population of both male and female student
athletes from the local area and from out of the area with diverse cultural, as well
as socioeconomic, backgrounds
Qualified and Dedicated Coaching Staff: Coaches have been able continue to
provide student athletes with a quality intercollegiate athletic experience in a time
of dwindling district commitment to providing adequate resources. Achievement
in the last year and a half include: our Men‟s Basketball team won a conference
championship and won a state playoff tournament game; our Football team won a
conference championship and played in a Bowl Game; our first-ever Men‟s
Soccer team finished in second place in their inaugural season.
Fundraising: The department has narrowed its fundraising focus to two events a
year. The first is the annual Dinner and Sports Auction which grossed over
$60,000 in 2010. The second is the annual Corsair Walkathon which generated a
gross of over $14,000 in 2010. The goal is to raise funds by conducting highquality events and to not over-saturate the local community with requests for
funds.
7. Improvement Areas
Staffing: There have been three retirements on the full-time coaching staff with
no backfill since 2003. The men‟s basketball coach (Bill Treglown), football
coach/athletic advisor (Bob Seaman) and football coach (Dave Banducci) have all
retired during this period. Currently there are part-time head coaches in several
sports—men‟s soccer, women‟s soccer, women‟s basketball and men‟s
basketball, cross country and track. Due to these positions remaining in part-time
status we often experience a lack of stability such as having three men‟s
basketball coaches in four years. Though the department has been lucky to hire
quality part-timers to fill these coaching positions, often part-time coaches cannot
dedicate the time to properly support their student athletes.
Facilities: The colleges‟ outdoor fields are in need of serious maintenance and/or
upgrade. All of the fields have very poor drainage rendering them almost useless
during the spring which is during the baseball and softball seasons.
Program Budget: The district budget for the department, while adequate in
some areas, is always augmented by fundraised dollars. Usually this is needed in
the areas of travel and equipment.
Recruiting: As the recruitment of student athletes gets more competitive,
providing an easy path for the student (and their parents) to navigate through the
process of enrollment, assessment, registration, financial aid, housing, etc. has
become essential. For the coaches the tracking of the recruitment of potential
5
student athletes through these processes has been challenging especially with outof-state students.

Overall, is your enrollment increasing, decreasing, or remaining the same?
Participation numbers fluctuate slightly for each sport from year-to-year. The addition of
men‟s soccer, men‟s and women‟s cross country and men‟s and women‟s track (distance
running only) gave 52 additional student athletes the opportunity to participate..
Volleyball was suspended in 2005-6 due to low enrollment. It has come back fairly
strong with 9-10 participants each year since.
Women‟s teams struggle with recruiting and with low participation numbers on a more
consistent basis than men‟s teams.

Fill out the Management and/or Staff request form that follow if new employees are
needed.
Does the staffing structure meet the unit’s needs?
If your answer is “no,” please consider the following in framing your answer:
a. Has the workload of your unit increased in recent years? Do you anticipate the
workload will increase, decrease or remain constant in the upcoming one to three years?
Is this a temporary situation?
The workload in the Athletic Department has increased dramatically since 2009-2010
when the department added intercollegiate men‟s soccer, men‟s cross country, women‟s
cross country, men‟s track and women‟s track. This increases the amount of work to
serve the increased amount of student athletes for the Athletic Training staff, Equipment
staff and clerical/administrative staff. This is not a temporary situation and must be
rectified with additional personnel. Medical attention and care for student athletes should
be a very high priority to the college. The number of teams and student athletes now
needing athletic training care necessitates the need for additional athletic training staff.
8
b. Has technology made it possible to do more work with the same staff? Or, has
technology increased your work load (adding web features which need updating for
example)?
Neither
c. Does the workload have significant peaks and valleys during the fiscal year? If so,
describe.
There is a huge increase in workload in the month leading up to the start of the
school year and the first month of the school year. Football practice usually starts
two weeks prior to the start of school and the rest of the fall sports start
practice one week before school starts. It levels out after this time, though this
could hardly be termed a „valley‟.
d. If your workload is increasing and resources will not allow for increased staffing, how do
you anticipate being able to ameliorate the negative consequences of too much work and
maintain a positive atmosphere in your unit?
The work will be absorbed by current staff as it has since 2009-2010.

III. Recommendations
Vice President’s Recommendation
The Athletic Department should be commended for developing a expanded tutoring
program in fall 2010, implementing several community learning groups in the fall
focused on student athletic issues and college acclimation, working with residential life
and counseling staff to implement a student development philosophy in student athlete
discipline, implementing a fall student athlete orientation to provide college athletes up to
date information, and committing a fulltime student development advisor to athletics in
order to accommodate the need to monitor academic progress.
It is recommended that the Athletic Department: in light of the California budget crises,
analyze the sports offerings and focus on athletic sports that are critical to the mission of
the college, continue building an academic support program for student athletes, continue
advocating for an upgrade of athletic facilities to meet the needs of the department, and
create additional community learning groups for student athletics with a focus on late
arrivals.

FORM R-4
PAGE 1 OF 5
(Adopted April 1, 2010; effective July 1, 2010.)
In compliance with state and federal Title IX laws pertaining to equitable opportunities for
men and women, respective community colleges, governed under the Commission on
Athletics/California Community College Athletic Association, must complete and report
the three-part test as indicated on this Form R-4. The three-part test includes: (1)
participation proportionate to full-time undergraduate enrollment; or (2) continued
program expansion for the underrepresented sex; or (3) fully and effectively
accommodating the underrepresented sex.
This Form R-4 shall be completed, signed, and forwarded, along with the most-recent
Equity in Athletics Disclosure Act (EADA) Report, to the Office of the Executive Director
postmarked by November 1 of each year. A copy shall be sent to the conference
commissioner, and another copy shall be retained on campus in the president’s office.
Failure to file this form by November 1 will result in the forfeiture of all completed
contests after that date.

Generally, as practical guidance for institutions choosing compliance with test one (proportionality), the largest programs
with several hundred participants might aim for a two percentage points difference between rates of participation and
rates of enrollment; medium-sized programs might aim for a three percentage points difference; smaller programs a four
percentage points difference; and the smallest programs might aim for five percentage points as the maximum allowable
variance. Participation rates exceeding the permissible variances for substantial proportionality mean that students of one
sex (most often women) are “underrepresented” in the athletics program.

TEST TWO: CONTINUING PRACTICE OF PROGRAM EXPANSION FOR THE UNDERREPRESENTED SEX
If women are underrepresented in the athletics program, list the number of participation
opportunities on those women’s teams added in the last five years:
Sports added within last 5 years
Cross Country
Track
Year implemented
Number of participants on team
Fall 2009

Calculate the percentage that the number of added opportunities in the last five years represents
of the total number of participants in the current women’s program:
Total number of participants in sports added for women within the last five years:
Add all the participants in the third column from above:
10
Percentage of added opportunities:
Total number of participants in sports added for women within the last five years divided
by total number of participants in the current program for women’s sports. Example:
75/385 = 19%
17%
If the added opportunities represent 25% or more of the current women’s program, compliance
with test two is possible. If the added opportunities in the last five years are less than 25% of the
current program, then compliance with test two is less likely. Identify the number of participants
on any women’s teams that have been discontinued. If the women’s team(s) were discontinued
for lack of interest or lack of competition, compliance with test two is still possible. If the women’s
team(s) were discontinued for budgetary reasons, or failure to hire a coach, or provide a facility;
compliance with test two may be compromised. (If men are underrepresented in the current
program, conduct this analysis for the men’s program.)
For further information regarding Test Two, please refer to Valerie Bonnette’s Title IX and
Intercollegiate Athletics: How It All Works – In Plain English on pages 35-86, or visit the Gender

TEST THREE: FULLY AND EFFECTIVELY ACCOMMODATE THE UNDERREPRESENTED SEX
An institution meets test three if it offers every team for women (if women are underrepresented) for which
there is sufficient interest and ability for a viable team and sufficient competition for that team in the area
where the institution’s teams normally compete. If the three factors of interest, ability, and available
competition exist for a team not currently offered to the underrepresented sex, then the institution does not
meet test three.
Please provide the total number of applicants interested in athletic participation in women’s sports for
summer, fall, and spring terms. Also, indicate the dates for data collection and method of survey distribution.
(If men are underrepresented in the current program, conduct this analysis for the men’s program.)

Additionally:
1) If women are underrepresented in your program, identify the sports offered to girls in the high
school interscholastic athletics programs in your recruitment areas that are not currently
offered to women in your intercollegiate program. Also, identify whether the number of girls
participating at the high school level suggests that there would be enough interest and ability
to offer a team in that sport at your institution. Please send an e-mail to the California
Interscholastic Federation (CIF) at sanctions@cifstate.org to request data regarding the total
number of girls participating in high schools within the recruitment area for sport(s) not
currently offered in program.

Again, if there is sufficient interest and ability for a team not currently offered, and there is
sufficient competition at an appropriate level for that team, then the institution does not comply
with test three.
