WELCOME TO THE HOME OF THE VIKINGS!


Catch That Viking Spirit!


The Athletic Department of St. Johns River State College, with the help of the entire faculty, is dedicated to the positive development of young men and women through a variety of academic and athletic programs.

It is our fundamental belief that athletic endeavors, physical challenges, and healthy competition inspire strong character, essential in the development of tomorrow's leaders.

Our goals are to:
  • Maximize each SJR State athlete's scholastic achievement and athletic potential
  • Develop teamwork and leadership skills in each student athlete
  • Maintain high graduation rates for all athletic programs
  • Provide all SJR State athletes with the tools to continue their education
  • Provide student athletes with transfer opportunities to university athletics
St. Johns River State College is a charter member of the Florida Community College Activities Association since 1965, the governing body for intercollegiate competition within the state.

The college is a member of the National Junior College Athletic Association and participates in Region VIII of this organization.

The College's first 35 years embraced a dedicated athletic director, William H. Tuten. Coach Tuten, whom the gymnasium has been named after, has been the recipient of the NJCAA Service Award, selected to the NJCAA Golf Hall of Fame and was elected to the Florida Community College Activities Association Hall of Fame in 1993.

The baseball complex is named after a man who devoted 30 years to SJR State baseball, Coach John Tindall. During those years, Tindall's teams won 591 games and appeared in the Region VIII Tournament nine times. Tindall was also selected to the FCCAA Hall of Fame.



ATHLETIC DIRECTOR - ROSS JONES


Ross Jones joined the St. Johns River State College coaching staff as head baseball coach in 2008 and assumed the position of athletic director in 2009. Jones' first season at the helm saw the Viking baseball team finish the 2009 season with a 33-17 record. The 33 wins surpassed the previous school record of 30 wins in a season set in 1982. >>
