The Central Conference was a junior college athletic conference with member schools located in Central California that operated from 1928 to 1929. The conference formed in 1928 as the Central California Junior College Association (CCJCA) at a meeting at Bakersfield Junior College—now known as Bakersfield College. Eight junior colleges were represented at the meeting: Bakersfield, California Polytechnic School—now known as California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Fresno City College, Porterville College, Reedley College, Santa Maria Junior College—now known as Allan Hancock College, Visalia Junior College—now known as College of the Sequoias, Taft College[1]

The Central Conference dissolved in 1979.[2][3]
