NCA critically needs volunteers.  If you are able to help us provide soccer programs to area youth, please send an email to NCAsoccer@yahoo.com.
The Northern Columbus Athletic Association is a volunteer-run program.  The success of our program depends, in part, on parents and other members of the community donating some of their time and expertise.
