Sports
The sports teams are known as the Lancers, and the school colors are cardinal red and gold. PCC's baseball team uses Jackie Robinson Field, a baseball field near the Rose Bowl, for practices and home games.
The current stadium, Robinson Stadium, is named for Jackie and Mack Robinson, both of whom were PCC alumni. The stadium was completed in 1999 after a renovation to move the stadium from a North-West position to a East-West direction. Recently, Robinson Stadium's surface has changed to SprinTurf and the track was converted to all-weather track. Besides PCC athletics, Marshall Fundamental Secondary School, Pasadena High School, and Blair International Baccalaureate School uses Robinson Stadium for some high school home football games due to lack of resources on the respective campus fields.
Athelic programs available are: Basketball, cross country, swimming, tennis, track and field, volleyball, baseball, softball, football, and soccer.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“In the end, I think you really only get as far as you’re allowed to get.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 87 (June 17, 1991)
“It is usual for a Man who loves Country Sports to preserve the Game in his own Grounds, and divert himself upon those that belong to his Neighbour.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
