History & Philosophy
Four executive directors have led
the NCCAA during its existence: E.C. Haskell (1970-88 in Chattanooga,
TN); Dr. Barry R. May (1988-97 in Marion, IN); Rob Miller (1997-1999
in Marion, IN); and Dan Wood (2000-present in Greenville, SC). Under
their leadership much growth and change has occurred within the
association. The membership has grown to approximately 100
Christ-centered colleges and universities and the mission has gone far
beyond just winning a tournament.
Today, each of the 23 national
championships and invitationals are required to hold a Christian
Service Project (CSP) during the championship event. CSPs are
opportunities in which NCCAA student-athletes and coaches go out into
a championship host’s community and serve others. Some CSPs have
included visiting children’s hospitals, serving the Salvation Army,
Boy’s and Girl’s Clubs, Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers/Big
Sisters, reading to children in public schools, doing yard work around
the community, writing soldiers overseas, working in food projects,
visiting the elderly in nursing homes, and much more. Tens of
thousands of hours have been given to communities across the nation
through the NCCAA.
