League Policies
Affiliation is for individuals and families. NCFCA recognizes both individuals and the family unit as distinct entities. Affiliation requires an adult in each family unit to affirm the affiliation requirements in our League Affiliation Policies, including agreement with our Foundational Beliefs.
Association is for organizations. Clubs and schools are independent entities from NCFCA. Association allows clubs and schools to publicly align with NCFCA while retaining their own mission and identity. This structure protects the legal and operational independence of each organization. Please see our Club Association Guide for additional information.
