Our Story

History

From a single baseball league founded in 2000 to a federation governing six collegiate club sports — this is how CollClubSports built the home of club athletics.

The National Club Baseball Association (NCBA) was founded in 2000. Since its founding, the NCBA has grown into one of the most successful collegiate club athletic leagues in the United States.

Today, CollClubSports — formally the National Federation of Collegiate Club Sports Leagues, L.L.C. — oversees six national leagues. Each governs its own competitive collegiate club season, with thousands of student-athletes participating annually for conference, regional, and national championships.
