Apply to the Student Leadership Council 

The Student Leadership Council (SLC) offers an in-depth exploration of Christ’s model of servant leadership, coupled with discussions on how to practically apply these principles in everyday settings. Additionally, the council regularly engages with adult leaders to offer student perspectives on life within the league. 

Learn more about who is eligible and how to apply in our recent news article.

Tournament Registration is a Commitment to Participate Fully!

Just like students, tournament registration comes with a commitment from parents to participate—as a judge, team member, or both—for the duration of the event. It is important to consider this when signing up for a tournament. We are thankful for our parents; tournaments can only function smoothly with everyone's full participation! 

Regional Championship Registration is Open

If you have qualified at any National Open or Regional Qualifier this season, registration for all Regional Championships is open! Go to MyPlace, enter your Regional Championship, and register for all the events for which you have qualified. If you qualify in additional events, you can register for those at that time.

National Tournament Registration Deadlines

• 3/18-4/8 - Online Spring National Open late registration 

Please check your MyPlace dashboard for regional tournament dates & deadlines. 

Prayer Focus Areas for this Week

• Families visiting tournaments and considering joining NCFCA next season
• Speech and Debate committees offering support for competitors and working on future plans and programming 
• Members of the NCFCA community who are facing chronic illness or grieving 

We appreciate you hosting the Longview, TX Open!

Thank you for your support!
