Eligibility Guidelines

Divisions

Eligible NACA teams are primarily from Christian Schools, Homeschool programs, and Church Sponsored Organizations. Teams that are not associated with a Christian School, Homeschool program or church should contact the NACA office to determine eligibility and appropriate divisional placement. If your team is a “hybrid,” meaning you have athletes from another school/program on your roster, that athlete must actively play for your team throughout the season. No athlete that participates on more than one team is eligible for the NACA. All transfers to your school/program must be eligible, on your roster and competing in games at least 21 days before the first day of NACA competition. You may not pick up players from another school/program at the end of the season to participate at the NACA. All signatures verifying eligibility must be present on your NACA roster form.

With the exception of our Elite (Post Grad) Basketball Division, any athlete who reaches his/her 19th birthday before July 1 prior to the fall semester of the current school year is not eligible to compete at the NACA. Hardships are considered case by case.

-NACA Director and Head Coach will determine which division school team will play based on school size, schedule, competition played, record, etc.

Week 1 Tournament [D1-D2-D3-D4] has stronger teams. Week 2 Tournament [D5-D6-D7-D8] comprised of smaller schools.

Please call the office if you are unsure of which division to place your team. Each division will feature a consolation bracket with everyone playing three to five games a tournament.
