Athletic Update: 1/18 - 1/22

Welcome! The following is what The NCLA Athletic Department has going on this week. Disclaimer, The NCLA cannot control the weather or our opponents. Thus, for the most current up to day information it is always wise to visit Thencla.org website for the What, When, and Where.

To view all basketball schedules and practice schedules go the Academic Calendar on the website. From this calendar you can edit it to only view whichever calendar you choose, click here for a short cut. 

Baseball Softball Sign-up:


The deadline to sign-up is this coming Monday, January 19, 2016 at 5:00 PM. Also, it has been extremely difficult to find fields that meet our leagues requirements. Thus, before I ask the other schools if we can just travel to them for all our games, I need hard commitments. Currently we have 10 for softball and 14 for baseball.

For some details regarding baseball contact Coach Nicoletta, for details regarding softball contact Coach Day.

The NCLA Athletic Spectator Expectations:
Remember that you are at a contest to support and yell for your team and to enjoy the skill and competition; not to intimidate or ridicule the other team and its fans.  


Remember that school athletics are learning experiences for students and they may make mistakes. Praise student-athletes in their attempt to improve themselves as students, as athletes and as people as you would praise a student working in the classroom.  


A ticket is a privilege to observe the contest, not a license to verbally assault others and be generally obnoxious.  


Learn the rules of the game, so that you may understand and appreciate why certain situations take place.  


Show respect for the opposing players, coaches, spectators and support groups. Treat them as you would treat a guest in your own home.  


Respect the integrity and judgment of game officials. Understand that they are doing their best to help promote the student/athlete, and admire their willingness to participate in full view of the public.  


Recognize and show appreciation for an outstanding play by either team.  


Refrain from the use of any controlled substances (alcohol, drugs, etc.) before, and during games, and afterwards on or near the site of the event (i.e., tailgating.)  


Use only those cheers that support and uplift the teams involved.  


Recognize and compliment the efforts of school and league administrators for their efforts in emphasizing the benefits of educational athletics and the rule of good SPORTING BEHAVIOR to that end.  

Be a positive role model through your own actions and by censuring those around you at events whose behavior is unbecoming.
