Based on a roster analysis, the almost $600,000 went to students 95% of whom were residents of communities outside Yavapai County, outside Arizona and occasionally outside the United States. Moreover, these scholarships appear to be taking up around 75% of the available institutional scholarships (those financed by taxpayers) given out by the College. Somehow, that seems unfair to County taxpayers and County high school graduates who find it difficult, if not almost impossible, to land a slot on any one of the four teams.No youth clinics scheduled for Sedona Center or Verde Campus
Kids on the west side of Yavapai County benefit tremendously from the summer youth clinics sponsored by the Community College. However, the College does not sponsor any of these programs on the East side of the County. Unfortunately this appears to be another example of how little the College is concerned with the 77,000 folks on the East side of the County.
The following is a list of some of the great programs being offered by the College on the West side of the County in Prescott and Prescott Valley.
Volleyball Youth Clinic (Grades 1-8) June 2 – 4, 2015. Fee: $30.
Volleyball Youth Camp (Grades 1-8) June 8-10, 2015. Fee: $150.
Volleyball All Skills Camp (Grades 6-12) June 11-13, 2015. Fee: $175 Commuter / $325 Overnight.
Free Soccer Clinic – Friday, August 14, 2015 (Prescott Valley).
Free Soccer Clinic – Saturday, August 15, 2015 (Prescott).

Roughrider soccer to scrimmage in Verde Valley Saturday
The Yavapai Community College Roughrider soccer team will scrimmage at Mingus Union High School on Saturday, August 16. Warm-ups are at 12:30 p.m., and the Green vs. Gold scrimmage will begin at 1:30 p.m.
The soccer team is one of several championship teams developed by the Prescott based administrators for the Prescott campus. Over the last 26 years this team and others have played all their games or matches in Prescott or Prescott Valley. Some suspect that the scrimmage is an effort to reduce criticism coming from the Verde Valley over the cost and exclusiveness of the various athletic programs based on the Prescott campus.
This year the Roughrider soccer team is ranked third nationally in a recent pre-season poll. The soccer team has an overall record of 535-46-24 with 7 national championships, and 23 Arizona conference championships.
