National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) (http://www.ncwa.net/)

The NCWA is the national governing body for college wrestling teams. If you follow college athletics, you would know that many athletic departments of universities are dropping their college wrestling programs. Student –ran wrestling clubs are being formed throughout the country so that they can continue to wrestle after high school. Kennesaw State University, my alma mater and the location of my internship, hosted the NCWA South Eastern Conference championship last weekend. We had 119 student wrestlers, from universities in the southeastern part of the country, competing in various weight classes.

National Cheer Association (NCA) (http://www.nationalspirit.com/) The NCA is the national governing body for cheerleading. College cheerleading isn’t governed by the NCAA. At Kennesaw State, our two time Division II NCA cheerleading team is governed by our collegiate club sports program.

American Collegiate Ice Hockey Association (ACHA) (http://www.achahockey.org/) ACHA is the governing body for collegiate club hockey teams. Both Western Illinois University and Kennesaw State University have club ice hockey teams. The club hockey team at KSU is headed to Grand Rapids, Michigan next week for the National ACHA Championship Tournament.

Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) (http://mcla.us/) The Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) is a national governing body for non-intercollegiate, varsity lacrosse programs. The MCLA governs 213 teams in two divisions, across ten conferences in the United States and Canada.
