The world of Jiu Jitsu is growing and, although it has touched almost every corner of the world, there is a gap that needs to be filled: Jiu Jitsu as a collegiate sport. To fill this gap, The NCGA was founded by several collegiate grapplers with the help of the largest collegiate wrestling organization in North America, the NCWA. By being an affiliate of the NCWA, we have:
|
Official Non-Profit 501(c)(3) status. As a non-profit, our organization meets the criteria that many universities require for a governing body. Because of this, most members of the NCGA have access to special privileges given by their university to sanctioned sports. These can include scholarships, travel assistance, etc.

|
The Ability to Award All-American Status and Academic All-American Recognition In every major college sport, All-American titles are given to the most dedicated and outstanding athletes. We have partnered with the most credible organizations in order to give these awards. This allows athletes who rise above in excellence and performance to be rewarded for their dedication.

Connections to Over 160 Universities Through the NCWA, we are directly connected to over 160 universities and regularly host tournaments across the nation. Our headquarters are located in Dallas and we have leadership throughout the United States and Canada, so you can stay connected, grow your region, and rely on an organization with 20+ years of promoting collegiate grappling.

Insurance for the Athlete and the University
Historically, university's are more willing to promote a sport and give them access to space and other amenities if the program is insured. Through our insurance program, athletes have $10,000 of secondary coverage for injuries. Institutions granted full membership into the NCWA are covered with 1,000,000 / 3,000,000 of Liability insurance coverages from 9/1 through 4/1 each season. These coverages protect the school, coaches & approved volunteers.
