# Valley Conference

The Valley Conference was a junior college athletic conference with member schools located in Central Valley in Central California. The conference was formed in 1961 and began operation in the fall of 1962. The Valley Conference's six initial members were American River College, the College of the Sequoias, Fresno City College, Modesto Junior College, Sacramento City College, Stockton College—which was renamed as San Joaquin Delta College in 1963. The conference's first commission was Paul Starr, who elected to the post in early 1962.
