Sports MedicineThe department of sports medicine operates

under the supervision of the University of San Diego’s designated team physician, Paul C. Mur-

phy MD, the associate director of athletics for sports medicine, Carolyn Greer, associate ath-

letic trainers, and assistant athletic trainers. The sports medicine facility is located in the Jenny

Craig Pavilion and is for the exclusive use of the University of San Diego student-athletes. This

2,400 square foot facility has defined taping, rehabilitation, and hydrotherapy areas. In addi-tion, there are a private treatment/exam room, offices and storage. The entire athletic training staff takes great pride in the services rendered

to over 400 student athletes through this facility. The USD athletic training room is clearly the top

sports medicine venue in the WCC.

University of San Diego student-athletes receive elite coaching from their strength and conditioning staff in one of the premier weight rooms on the West Coast. With 5,000 square feet of floor space (plus an additional 1,600 square feet of turf), 16 all inclusive lifting stations and approxi-mately 20,000 pounds of free weights, multiple teams can be simultaneously coached in a comprehensive strength and conditioning development program. Medicine balls, dumb-bells, gymnastics rings and various pullup stations are used to enhance the training provided for all 16 of USD’s varsity sports.

The USD strength staff advocates the use of ground based, multi-joint, explosive free weight exercises in the training of student-athletes. USD teams are taught the clean and jerk, snatch, squats, deadlift and the various barbell and dumbbell variations. By using the exercises, in combination with intense effort, we believe USD student-athletes will be well prepared to meet every physical challenge put to them in competition.

The University of San Diego is an independent Catholic institution of higher education. Founded in 1949, USD is located on 180 acres overlooking Mission Bay, San Diego Harbor and the Pacific Ocean. The campus is named Alcalá Park and is located just 10 minutes from downtown San Diego. The campus was named after a Spanish village near Madrid - Alcala de Henares. Founded by the Greeks as Complutum, the village was later renamed Al Kala (the Castle) by the Moslems. Christians recaptured the village centuries later and founded a university whose buildings became the inspiration for USD’s architectural style. Under the leadership of Mother Rosalie Hill of the Society of the Sacred Heart and Bishop Charles Francis Buddy of the Diocese of San Diego, the University of San Diego began as separate colleges for men and women. The first classes met in 1952; the School of Law opened its doors in 1954. By the late 1960’s it became clear that both colleges would benefit from combining academic resources, and in 1972 the University of San Diego became a single coeducational Catholic university. Now governed by a board of trustees independent from the founding organizations, USD is a Roman Catholic institution that welcomes students, faculty and staff of diverse religions, traditions and remains dedicated to the values originally articulated by Mother Hill and Bishop Buddy. Students choose from more than 60 undergraduate and graduate degrees programs in academic divisions including the College of Arts and Sciences and the schools of Business Administration, Leadership and Education Sci-ences, Law and Nursing and Health Science. The USD campus is regarded as one of the most architecturally unique institutions in the country, featuring major buildings designed in an ornamental 16th century Spanish Renaissance style. Since 2000, USD has completed numerous major construc-tion and expansion projects. In 2000 the Jenny Craig Pavilion, a 5,100-seat athletic center, opened its doors as home to USD basketball and volleyball. The Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice opened on the west end of campus, and in 2003 the Donald P. Shiley Center for Science and Technology opened. The Degheri Alumni Center, a three-story 28,000 square foot building located near the main entrance to USD, opened in 2004. A gathering place for the alumni family, it was made possible with a generous gift from alumnus Bert Degh-eri ’61. The Student Life Pavilion, a four-story, 50,000-square-foot building, opened its doors this past fall.

Dr. Mary E. LyonsPresident

The University of San Diego is very proud of the student-athletes that represent our institution on 16 men's and women's NCAA Division-I athletic teams. These are proud and serious competitors, honored to represent the University. The dedication you witness on the playing fields, on the court, on the course, or in the water is greatly matched in the classrooms, the laboratories, on stage, or in the community. Last year thirty-nine percent of our student-athletes carried a grade-point average above 3.2, and 11 of our teams had a cumulative grade-point average above 3.0.

Athletics is vital to the University of San Diego, a way students, faculty, staff and alumni come together as one com-munity. I am both a university president and a Torero fan; I look forward to sharing the excitement of Torero athletics with our many fans.

Ky Snyder was named Executive Director of Athletics at the University of San Diego on December 10th, 2003. Dr. Mary E. Lyons, USD President, introduced Snyder who returned to USD where he was Director of Athletic Development from 1990 to 1996. He came back to USD from the San Diego International Sports Council where he held the position of President.With the San Diego International Sports Council, Snyder’s primary responsibility was to promote San Diego/Tijuana as the preferred region for sporting events and activities that benefit the community both economically and socially. Accomplishments of the Sports Council bid efforts during Snyder’s tenure included securing San Diego the 1997 and 1998 ESPN Summer X Games, the Suzuki Rock & Roll Marathon, the 1999 Major League Soccer All-Star Game, the Bank of America/U.S. Olympic Cup, NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball First & Second Round (2001) contests, the NCAA Division I Women’s Volleyball Championships (2001) and Super Bowl XXXVII.

In the spring of 2001, Snyder was named the President of the San Diego Super Bowl XXXVII Host Committee. He still serves as President of the San Diego Super Bowl Task Force. Snyder was also the Executive Director of the San Diego International Sports Foundation. Prior to joining the SDISC, Snyder was the Director of Athletic Development at the University of San Diego for six years. At USD he was responsible for establishing the Torero Athletic Association, fund-raising efforts for athletics, managing athletic special

events and generating corporate sponsorship of athletics.

At USD he oversees an athletic department with seventeen NCAA Division I intercollegiate teams and over 400 student-athletes. He is responsible for all administrative, management and supervisory aspects of the Department of Athletics. Additionally, he oversees the strategic long-range planning and monitoring of budgets, personnel, programs, facilities, fund-raising, promotions and marketing, and public relations for an NCAA Division I program consisting of eight sports for men and nine sports for women. He serves on the NCAA Division I Football Rules Committee and as the Corporate Co-Chair of the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes.

This past season saw the USD athletics program win its second consecutive WCC Commissioner’s Cup. The conference trophy goes to the school with the top performing athletics program in the eight-team West Coast Conference. Four Torero teams advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2008-09, while a record six teams made it in 2007-08.

Snyder played football at San Diego State University. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing from San Diego State University and has studied in the Master’s Leadership Program at the University of San Diego.

Snyder, who has been a San Diego resident for 27 years, has a very athletic family. His wife, Sue, was a former standout member of the United States women’s national volleyball team who played at San Diego State and also coached the Aztecs and University of San Diego’s women’s volleyball teams. In addition, Snyder’s father, Lester, held the position as President of the United States Tennis Association.

The Snyder’s reside in Poway with their son Riley (age 16), daughter Sydney (age 13) and daughter Cammy (age 10).

NCAA COMPLIANCEI want to play Division I intercollegiate athletics at San Diego…

What do I need to do in order to play at San Diego as a freshman?If you intend to participate in Division I or II athletics as a freshman, you must register and be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center. Your high school counselor should provide you with a brochure titled, “NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete.” In order to be registered with the Eligibility Center, you should create an account at www.eligibilitycenter.org and pay the registration fee of $60 for US students or $85 for international students. Then work with your high school counselor to ensure that an official copy of your high-school transcript, which includes your SAT or ACT score(s), is sent to the Eligibility Center. When registering for the SAT or ACT, you should use the NCAA Eligibility Center code (9999) as a score recipi-ent. After graduation and before the school closes for the summer, your school also must send the Eligibility Center a copy of your final transcript that confirms graduation from high school. Your counselors can obtain registration materials, at no cost, by calling the clearinghouse at (877) 262-1492 or (317) 223-0700 for international callers.

How do I know if I’m being recruited?You become a “prospective student-athlete” when you start ninth-grade classes. Before the ninth grade, you become a prospective student-athlete if a college gives you (or your relatives or friends) any financial aid or other benefits that the college does not provide pro-spective students generally. You become a “recruited prospective student-athlete” at a particular college if any coach approaches you (or any member of your family) about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college. Activities by coaches that cause you to become a recruited prospective student-athlete are (1) providing you with an official visit; (2) placing more than one telephone call to you or any other member of your family; or (3) visiting you or any other member of your family anywhere other than the college campus.

Boosters: In addition to general recruiting regulations, no alumni, boosters or representatives of a college’s athletics interests can be involved in your recruitment. There can be no phone calls or letters from boosters. If a USD booster is contacting you, please call the San Diego Compliance Office as soon as possible at (619) 260-4755. Don’t risk your NCAA eligibility!

When can I talk to the coach and have him/her see me play?

Telephone Calls: In baseball, starting July 1 after your junior year in high school, a college coach is limited to one telephone call per week to you (or your parents or legal guardians), except that unlimited calls to you (or

your parents or legal guardians) may be made under the following circumstances: (1) during the five days immediately before your official visit by the college you will be visiting; (2) on the day of a coach’s off-campus contact with you by that coach; (3) on the initial date for signing the National Letter of Intent in your sport through two days after the initial signing date; and (4) you (or your parents) may telephone a coach at your expense as often as you wish. After a National Letter of Intent is signed, unlimited calls may be placed to the prospect.

Off-Campus Contacts: A college coach may contact you in person off the college campus only on or after July 1 after the completion of your junior year in high school. The contact must take place on the prospect’s high school campus and follow restrictions on the sport’s recruiting calendar. A contact is any face-to-face meeting between a college coach or athletics staff member and you or your parents, during which any of you say more than “hello.” Also, any such face-to-face meeting that is prearranged or that takes place on your campus, at an organized competition or practice involving you or your high school, preparatory school, two-year college or all-star team shall be considered a contact, regardless of the conversation. However, a college coach may visit your high school (with the approval of your high school principal) only once a week during contact period.

Evaluations: An evaluation is any off-campus activity used to assess your academic qualifications or athlet-ics ability, including a visit to your high school (during which no contact occurs) or watching you practice or compete at any site. In baseball, a coach has three contact opportunities and 4 evaluation opportunities. Once you sign a National Letter of Intent, you may be evaluated an unlimited number of times by a college coach from the college with which you have signed.

Letters: Letters and printed recruiting information may be sent to you starting September 1 at the begin-ning of your junior year in high school. However, you may still contact a university prior to this date to receive general (non-athletic related) information. You may also complete an athletic questionnaire prior to this date.

What Can I Receive from San Diego? You (or your family) may not receive any benefit, inducement or arrangement, such as cash, clothing, camp, improper expenses, transportation, gifts or loans to encourage you to sign a National Letter of Intent or attend an NCAA college.
