Support the Tiger Club
A Note from the Director of Athletics
Since 1979, the Occidental Tiger Club has supported the Athletics Department to advance the College's mission of excellence, equity, community and service. Consisting of former athletes, family, friends, faculty, administration and staff, the Tiger Club works in concert with Occidental Athletics in providing programs which emphasize competitive intercollegiate teams, focusing on a century-old winning tradition.
Occidental Athletics is taking great strides. Due in large part to donor dollars, during the 2010-11 year we have been able to:
- Hire outstanding new coaches and staff.
- Announce the live stream, live audio and live stats agreement with Stretch Internet.
- Renew a three-year agreement with Adidas.
- Retain state-of-the-art fitness equipment from bioDensity.
- Upgrade technology throughout our team rooms.
- Invest in a mental conditioning program available to all student-athletes.
In addition to these major efforts, The Tiger Club helps fund team travel, purchase new equipment and gear, add to coaching staffs and makes possible a variety of other projects that ultimately enhance the experience of all student-athletes.
In this coming year the goal is to not only maintain our momentum but to grow on a variety of other levels. We want to:
- Upgrade the varsity weight room.
- Invest in enhanced assistant coaching stipends to allow for better teaching and mentoring across all programs.
- Improve accessibility to both strength and conditioning coaches and mental conditioning coaches.
- Improve recruiting for all sports with further technology upgrades.
- Improve SCIAC results in all programs
All of the progress and goal setting stems from the commitment to and by our student-athletes. Thank you for doing your part in contributing to the quality of experience that each Occidental Tiger enjoys.
Io Triumphe!
