"Your word
is a lamp to
my feet and
a light to
my path."
Psalm 119:105

NCA students have many opportunities to develop their athletic abilities. In addition to Physical Education classes at all levels, students have the option of participating in a number of organized team sports.

Soccer

The high school varsity boys and girls soccer teams play a Fall season. Home games are played on our own regulation-sized grass field. The teams also play in a number of invitational tournaments throughout the year.

In addition to varsity soccer, students in all younger levels (both boys and girls) have opportunities to play on one of several teams. Children of ages 7-15 have regular practice times and weekly games with similar-aged teams from other schools.

Volleyball

High school girls and boys may participate in an after-school volleyball program. Players practice regularly on one of two regulation volleyball courts to develop their skills and improve their teamwork. The teams play games against other nearby schools and participate in tournaments.

Basketball

Boys and girls from elementary through high school may also play on a number of basketball teams. Teams practice and play on two regulation courts. As with other sports, players compete against teams of similar ages from neighboring schools throughout the year.

Coaches

All athletic teams are coached by dedicated teachers, parents, and friends of the school who have knowledge and experience in their sport. The athletic department is headed up by Rachel Pontier, who is the High School physical education teacher. The soccer program is supervised by elementary physical education teacher, Edgard Fajardo. Señor Fajardo is an experienced coach of many years and has been involved with Nicaragua National Soccer Teams, an organization of athletic teams across the country. The volleyball program is overseen by school counselor and psychology teacher, Marysol Zamora. Mrs. Zamora has many years of playing and coaching experience and believes strongly in teamwork.
