National Collegiate Boxing Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Collegiate Boxing Association (NCBA) was founded in 1976 as a non-profit, autonomous organization whose goal is to provide a safe, positive experience for student athletes pursuing the sport of boxing. After 1960, the NCAA no longer sanctioned boxing.

NCBA member schools are encouraged to develop their instructional and intramural programs with emphasis on the teaching of fundamental novice boxing skills. In order to be eligible to participate in a NCBA member school, a collegiate boxer must be a full-time student at an accredited institution at which he is attending for graduation.
