Earl W. Edwards - Director of Athletics 

Earl W. Edwards accepted the position of Director of Athletics at UC San Diego in March, 2000. 

Under his guidance, the 23-sport program has made a successful transition from the NCAA Division 

III to Division II. In fact, UCSD has surpassed all expectations in Division II, capturing women’s 

soccer national championships in both 2000 and 2001, and finishing in the top-10 of the Director’s 

Cup standings in four of its first five seasons. 

Edwards’ move to UC San Diego represented a homecoming, as he had previously served as Associate 

Athletic Director at UCSD from 1987 to 1993. He then took a position as Director of Athletics at 

East Stroudsburg University in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. During his seven-year tenure at 

the NCAA Division II institution, he served on numerous NCAA committees, including a 1999 

appointment to the Division II Management Council. Edwards is also currently a member of the 

National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Executive Committee. 

Edwards is a 1972 graduate of East Stroudsburg with a master’s degree in Physical Education and 

Sports Administration from the University of Massachusetts. In addition to East Stroudsburg, he has athletic administration experience 

at UMass, UC Davis, the University of Michigan, Drexel University and UC San Diego. While previously serving at UCSD, Edwards 

initiated the Triton Athletic Associates, the athletic department’s primary fund-raising source. Edwards now presides over a UC San 

Diego program which is recognized nationally for both its athletic and academic achievements.

CANYONVIEW AQUATIC CENTER 


Located on the eastern end of campus, between Eleanor Roosevelt College 

and Warren College, the Canyonview Aquatic Center features two outdoor, 

Olympic-Size Pools, which can be divided into 8 lanes of 50 meters in length 

or 19 lanes of 25 yards in length. The west pool is home to the UCSD men’s 

and women’s water polo teams, as well as the men’s and women’s swimming 

teams. The east pool is used for recreational swimmers in addition to the 

UCSD men’s and women’s diving teams who practice and compete while 

the diving boards and platforms used by the UCSD Diving Teams are located 

in the complex on the east side. 

UCSD POOL QUICK FACTS: 

• Two Pools, Heated year-round to 80-85 degrees 

• Bleacher seating for 1,500 and an additional 

1,000 more on grass 

• Men’s and women’s locker rooms with showers 

• Lights on the deck accommodate night use 

• Diving Area consists of one 5-meter platform, 

two 3-meter platforms, two 1-meter platforms

RIMAC ARENA 


The Recreation, IntraMural, Athletic Complex (RIMAC) is the cornerstone of the UCSD sports facilities. This nearly 200,000 square 

foot facility is located just south of the 12-acre North Campus Recreation Area Field on the northwest corner of the campus. Opened 

in January 1995, RIMAC is a multi-purpose facility with the most advanced forms of quality control, state-of-the-art equipment and a 

strong staff commitment to customer service. Every room in RIMAC is climate controlled and many of the spaces feature an abundance 

of natural lighting. RIMAC houses the offices of the Intercollegiate Athletics, Recreation and Sports Facilities departments. RIMAC also 

features a variety of recreational, educational, and meeting spaces which can accommodate a variety of activities. 

The RIMAC Arena is a multi-use facility capable of accommodating a wide variety of activities ranging from large spectator events 

including ceremonies and concerts to athletic competitions and tournaments. The 44,000 square foot floor is also capable of accommodating 

large floor exhibits. The Arena Floor is spring loaded employing the use of Robbins Bio-Cushion I and is curtain divisible for multi-sport 

use in basketball (total of five courts), volleyball, and badminton. The arena is furnished with 10 retractable glass basketball backboards, 

and floor plates and sleeves for volleyball and badminton. Employing the use of telescopic bleachers and floor seats, the RIMAC Arena 

may accommodate up to 5,000 people. 

RIMAC is home to the UCSD men and women’s basketball teams along with the men and women’s volleyball squads. Over 50 home 

athletic events are contested in RIMAC every year, and with entusiastic support from both the campus and surrounding communities, 

the Tritons truly enjoy a home court advantage. Both of the basketball and volleyball teams utilize the main court for both practice and 

games, while the auxiliary courts, which are located on the third floor, are used only for practices.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH 


The University of California, San Diego Department of Athletics is committed to actively participating in the community through a 

variety of outreach events and services. Student-athletes from 23 sports participate in a wide range of service and outreach programs in 

and around the San Diego area. 

In 2003-04 the Tritons began the “Team Up!” program. This program 

assists local elementary schools that do not have a physical education 

component in their current curriculum. UCSD student-athletes provide 

healthy physical activity and create an environment for elementary 

school students that foster positive thinking and team building. The 

program was run at the Del Mar Heights Elementary School in the 

morning hours prior to school starting and during the students’ lunch 

periods during the past two years. 

Triton student-athletes make the holidays brighter for 12 families in 

the San Diego area on an annual basis, providing a plethora of gifts 

and holiday cheer. Triton teams paired up and each tandem purchased 

presents, food, and goodies to deliver to their adopted family before 

the holidays. Families were selected by the Neighborhood House 

Association which runs the Head Start programs throughout San Diego 

County. Student-athletes contacted the families to find out what special 

presents the children wanted, as well as what sort of clothing or other needs could be met. 

Teams delivered the presents in person and spent time with the families, often playing 

games with the children. Families each received approximately $300-$500 worth of 

gifts, depending on the number of children. Presents ranged from a bike for one child to 

clothing and food for the parents. 

In conjuction with the California Collegiate Athletic Association as the Student-Athlete 

Advisory Committee, Triton student-athletes have gone to work to raise money for the 

Make-A-Wish Foundation in each of the last three years. The student-athletes held a 

bake sale during the Annual Sun God Festival on the UCSD campus. Each team brought 

baked goods for a sale in the evening prior to the festival’s main event. The goal at each 

CCAA member institution was to raise $1 per student-athlete. Triton student-athletes far 

exceeded this goal, raising over $1,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation in 2005. 

Additionally, the Intercollegiate Athletics Department holds an annual Blood Drive to 

benefit the American Red Cross. All coaches, staff and out of season student-athletes 

participated in the blood drive, while those student-athletes who were in season recruited 

other students on campus to donate blood on their behalf.

ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE / SPORTS MEDICINE 


Two integral parts of the UC San Diego athletic department are the Athletic Performance Program and the Sports Medicine Program, 

both of which provide a tremendous advantage to all 23 of the UCSD intercollegiate sports. 

The Athletic Performance Program is geared toward teaching each student-athlete how to achieve the highest level of athletic development 

through enhancement of all components of strength and conditioning. Athlete workouts are monitored and planned out by Rob Mamula, 

UCSD’s Director of Athletic Performance who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to Triton athletics. Mamula represents 

the only full-time strength and conditioning coach in the entire CCAA. The Tritons work out in the RIMAC weight room that is over 

12,000 square feet in size with state of the art equipment. The UCSD Athlete Performance Program is truly designed with the studentathlete’s 

enhancement in mind. Very few programs at the Division II level have such expertise and first class facilities at the disposal

Mediterranean charm and a cool Southern Californian vibe, and rolls out the 

red carpet when it comes to it’s fine dining, theatre, cultural activities, boutique 

shopping, art galleries and fine lodging establishments. It is no wonder why La 

Jolla’s Prospect Street was dubbed ‘San Diego’s Rodeo Drive’.

climate, San Diego is located at the southern tip of California, just north 

of Mexico. The residents of San Diego county are so physically active that
