Faith Based Competition
 
The NCCAA was incorporated in 1968 to provide a Christian-based organization that functions uniquely as a national and international agency for the promotion and enhancement of intercollegiate athletic competition with a Christian perspective.
Approximately 100 Christian colleges and universities comprise the NCCAA involving well over 13,000 student-athletes and 850 coaches. A combined total of 20 national championships in men's and women's sports are sponsored by the NCCAA as well as several national invitational tournaments.

The very existence of the NCCAA addressed the need for a unique plan to encourage Christian distinctives in the lives of young men and women in a day where the foundations of our society are being greatly challenged. The NCCAA wants to vigorously promote Christian ethics and purpose of life through athletics within the membership.

The NCCAA is committed to:
1.supporting coaches and their institutions in a plan that will impact the lives of student-athletes for Christ in the present as well as in the future.
2.challenging the student-athlete via regional and national competition.
3.enabling student-athletes to participate in intercultural outreach ministries through missions.
4.expecting academic excellence.
5.encouraging Christians to be able to best serve family, school, church, and our world.
6.Making a positive impact in developing the leaders of tomorrow.

Regional and national competition is offered in both men's and women's sports. International competition is being promoted with an emphasis on ministry and missions. The competitive opportunities offered by the NCCAA and it's affiliates extend beyond the college experience in this way. It is our desire to raise more funds in order to assist student-athletes in visiting other countries to compete and witness for Jesus Christ. This experience will affect the lives of the students tremendously as well as impact the lives of those to whom they minister.

The NCCAA believes that athletics are a means to an end and that the process is as important as the performance. We desire to provide a field of play for schools, coaches and athletes to exemplify the spirit of competition in a way that will glorify God.
