NJCAA launches Compete NJCAA for prospective student-athletes
Charlotte, NC – The NJCAA has announced the launch of Compete NJCAA, the home for prospective student-athletes to learn about the national governing body of two-year collegiate athletics and the opportunities its member colleges provide. As the second-largest national intercollegiate athletic organization, nearly 70,000 student-athletes compete within the association and its over 500 member colleges each year. With this national initiative, all potential student-athletes have an opportunity to learn about the benefits of attending a two-year institution in addition to searching NJCAA member colleges by state, division and sport.
"This all-in-one resource places the necessary facts and information into the hands of student-athletes directly, allowing them to take the next steps towards an NJCAA opportunity," stated Dr. Christopher Parker, NJCAA President and CEO. "For those looking to compete at a high level of collegiate athletics while enhancing their academic and athletic skills, the NJCAA has something for everyone."
