NCFCA is not a drop-off activity, and competitors generally can’t be sent along with a coach or a friend to tournaments.

Parent involvement is essential for our tournaments to run smoothly. 

Every single competitor increases the amount of judge support we need from adults, and the majority of that support is provided by parents. Therefore, we can’t and don’t flex our parent participation requirements except in truly extenuating circumstances. 

Please read our Parent Participation and Designated Adult policies carefully.

Parents and DAs must either serve in administrative roles for the entire tournament, or they must serve as part of the full-time parent judging team for the whole tournament. 

This may sound daunting, but most parents find the teamwork and camaraderie enjoyable and rewarding. Adults learn new things at every tournament and find new ways to connect with their children through the shared experience.
