{{Short description|Junior college athletic conference in Southern California}}
The '''Foothill Conference''' was a [[college athletic conference]] that is affiliated with the [[California Community College Athletic Association]]. Several community colleges were members until it was formally disbanded in Spring, 2016.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.sbsun.com/search/ci_9662073|title=Colleges out at home|last=Gardner|first=Michelle|date=2008-06-21|work=[[San Bernardino County Sun]]|accessdate=2008-06-22}}</ref>

==History==
The Foothill Conference was formed in 1988. However, the roots of the conference can be traced to 1981 when the [[American football|football]]-only Foothill Conference was formed.

The Foothill Conference was an offshoot of the [[Southern California Athletic Conference]] (SCAC), which included many of the [[Los Angeles]]-based community colleges.<ref>{{cite news |last=Long |first=Jim |title=Tashima see progress in VVC rebuilding effort |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-san-bernardino-county-sun/151163276/ |newspaper=[[The San Bernardino Sun|The Sun]] |location=[[San Bernardino, California]] |date=September 2, 1988 |page=AA23 |access-date=July 11, 2024 |via=[[Newspapers.com]] {{Open access}} }}</ref> Founding members of the Foothill Conference were [[Antelope Valley College|Antelope Valley]], [[Citrus College|Citrus]], [[Chaffey College|Chaffey]], [[College of the Desert|Desert]], [[East Los Angeles College|East Los Angeles]], [[Mount San Jacinto College|Mt. San Jacinto]], [[Rio Hondo Community College|Rio Hondo]], [[San Bernadino Valley College|San Bernardino Valley]] and [[Victor Valley College|Victor Valley]] colleges.

Two colleges, East Los Angeles College and Citrus College, eventually left the conference. [[Barstow College]] and [[Cerro Coso Community College]] joined later as full-time participants.

In Fall 2013, [[Mount San Jacinto College|Mt. San Jacinto]]<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.pe.com/sports/college/college-headlines/20121205-inland-colleges-mt.-san-jacinto-leaving-foothill-conference.ece |newspaper=Riverside Press-Enterprise}}</ref> and [[Antelope Valley College|Antelope Valley]] were hosted into other athletic conferences. [[Mount San Jacinto College|Mt. San Jacinto]] was accepted as a member of the [[Pacific Coast Conference]] while [[Antelope Valley College|Antelope Valley]] moved to the [[Western State Conference]] South Division.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://gomarauders.avc.edu/email/eNews/eNews.html |publisher=Aantelope Valley Marauder Athletics |title=Marauder Athletics to move into Western State Conference |url-status=dead |accessdate=2012-12-27 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130212222259/http://gomarauders.avc.edu/email/eNews/eNews.html |archive-date=2013-02-12 }}</ref>

The departure of [[Mount San Jacinto College|Mt. San Jacinto]] and [[Antelope Valley College|Antelope Valley]] made the conference the smallest in the state, eventually leading to is demise.
