Does it field a women’s basketball team?
Yes. College of the Canyons reported 11 women’s basketball participants in the Equity in Athletics return it filed for 2025-26. That is the institution’s own count of the squad, not a roster page Athlavia has read, and it is the figure the United States Department of Education publishes.
It competes in California CC (CCCAA), and no conference affiliation is recorded here. It is one of 92 CCCAA women's basketball programmes in California, out of 161 programmes there in total.
Can it award a basketball scholarship?
The California Community College Athletic Association forbids athletic scholarships outright. What makes these colleges affordable is low tuition and state fee waivers — not athletic aid, and a recruiter who implies otherwise is wrong.
Money is still available here: academic awards, need-based grants and institutional bursaries. What does not exist is an award made because of basketball. A recruiter offering one at a CCCAA institution is describing something the rules do not allow.
What it costs and what it is like
No cost snapshot is held for College of the Canyons. Athlavia will not print an estimate in its place — tuition varies by residency, by course and by year, and a made-up number is worse than an empty one. The institution’s own admissions pages carry the published figures.

How it compares
Across the 92 CCCAA women’s basketball programmes in this database, the average listed squad is 13 players. College of the Canyons lists 11, 2 players below that average. Among the 92 CCCAA programmes in California, it has the 56th largest listed squad.
Squad size is a fact about the return, not a judgement about the programme. A large squad can mean depth or it can mean a long bench; a small one can mean minutes are available or that the roster is already settled. It is a question to ask a coach, not an answer.

Every stored fact carries the source it came from, the date it was read and how it was extracted. Figures shown on this page without a row above are recorded with the source on the record itself — the athletic aid figure, for instance, carries the Department of Education’s athletics site as its source.
