NAIA

At the NAIA, we take the student part of student-athlete seriously, balancing growth of the whole person with athletic achievement. That’s the right way to play – the way college athletics was meant to be. #TheRightWaytoPlay #NAIA #studentathletes

Did you know that 50% of NAIA councils have a female chair or vice-chair and 70% of administrator associations have a female chair or vice chair? At the NAIA we are dedicated to creating opportunities for women to thrive in athletics. #PlayNAIA

?? 1?0?1??? He's already been named #NAIABaseball Player of the Week after tying the record, and today, Cumberlands (Ky.) Charlie Muniz added on with his 101st career collegiate home run, breaking Pete Incaviglia's 40-year-old record. Congrats, Charlie!

For National Athletic Training Month, we want to thank the athletic trainers who help NAIA student-athletes deal with the emotional and mental sides of physical injury. Trainers like Lindsey Krippel, who works with the Indiana Wesleyan men's and women's tennis teams, as well as the women's basketball team. Lindsey goes above and beyond to help make sure IWU's student-athletes are ready for competition. And when competing is not possible, she helps players navigate season- and career-ending injuries. Her calming influence and care off the court helps them heal emotionally. Thanks, Lindsey!

At the NAIA, small doesn’t mean limited—it means limitless possibilities. We believe true strength isn’t measured in numbers, but in the values that drive us forward. Every day, our member institutions prove huge moments can happen anywhere and at any size. #TheRightWaytoPlay #NAIA #studentathletes
