Facilities
“It
sounds like I’m exaggerating, I know, but other teams who
play us at home almost always say something about our fields. The grass
is awesome, there’s good seating for spectators, and the dugouts are
great. Having a cool place to play definitely makes for greater team
pride. It’s
one of the reasons I really looked forward to being a Cougar.”
Tyler Arnold
Sophomore, Infield
Great skills are enhanced by top-quality facilities. SCC has invested big-time in its physical campus to make sure Cougar athletes get the most out of their practices and game times. It’s just another aspect of Cougar pride.
