NCWA Lead­er­ship Returns From Vision Forum

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – The NCWA welcomed 25 coaches and staff members to the Hilton Daytona Beach Resort for its annual Vision Forum conference. The NCWA representatives discussed multiple segments of the upcoming season and future seasons over three days of meetings and legislation.



The major topics proposed for review or revision regarded eligibility standards, new programs’ initial conference placement, transition teams and their invitations to postseason events, allowing for extra matches at NCWA events that will count on a wrestler’s season record, this season’s site choices for NCWA Championship events as well as future events, among others.



The NCWA Vision Forum was held in conjunction with the annual NWCA Convention, and several NCWA coaches attended seminars, briefings and social events with the rest of the nation’s coaches.



The final version of the Vision Forum minutes is under review by the NCWA Executive Board, and will be published on this website when complete.
