NAIA ADVANTAGES

There are many advantages to competing in NAIA sports. Besides that benefit of close-knit communities and small class sizes on the typical NAIA campus, NAIA athletics offer:
Maximum opportunity to participate in regular season contests and National Championships. Flexibility to transfer without missing a season of eligibility. Fewer recruiting restrictions. Focus on the education and character development of the student-athlete.

The NAIA recruitment process is less cumbersome, with fewer restrictions on the contact a student-athlete and coach can make. More frequent communication aids in assuring that the student-athlete is comfortable with the choice of institution. In the event the student-athlete feels that the school or team is not the right fit, he/she can transfer to another NAIA institution and compete the next season without sitting out a year. While NAIA rules hold strict academic requirements, the process of establishing eligibility is streamlined since there is no clearinghouse. We hope you strongly consider enrolling at an NAIA member institution.
