Welcome to the NCCAA: National Christian College Athletic Association

Please email all contact information to your local media outlets to jmalone@thenccaa.org. The NCCAA will email various press releases on your behalf throughout the school year.

Important Back to School Information

     As we are all kicking off the beginning of a new school year, there are several important items below that should be remembered as you consider your athletic needs and eligibility. Please use this as a guide throughout the season to avoid unnecessary penalties or last minute stress. Call or email the NCCAA National Office at any time to ask questions.
     Know that the NCCAA staff and board prays for you and your institution regularly. We are anxious to receive reports of how God is moving on your campus, especially within your sports.
     We ask you to pray for your National Office staff and our ongoing ministry needs, that we will honor God in our work and together use athletics to reach many for Christ.
     Blessings to you for a Christ-centered school year! God has great things in store!
