Located in Point Lookout, Missouri, College of the Ozarks will continue to host these three championships through the 2029-2030 academic year. “With our goal of desiring to increase the experience and enjoyment of our 24 National Championships, we could not be more excited to renew this partnership with College of the Ozarks,” stated NCCAA Executive Director Dan Wood. “They simply do it all in the most excellent fashion.” These championships will be hosted inside the Keeter Athletic Complex, a facility with a rich history of championship pedigree. Prior to becoming the home of the NCCAA Division I Basketball and Women’s Volleyball National Championships, Ozarks hosted the NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball National Championship for nearly two decades. The Keeter Athletic Complex features seating for 2,600 with over 800 chairback seats in the lower bowl. The facility also features four visiting locker rooms, two official’s locker rooms, a training room, and an additional gymnasium to facilitate team practices. College of the Ozarks also boasts strong partnerships with local sponsors to facilitate their honorary coach program, where each team that attends an NCCAA National Championship in Point Lookout will be assigned a local sponsor who will guide their team’s experience throughout the week. “College of the Ozarks is honored to continue our partnership with the NCCAA,” stated Ozarks Athletic Director Steve Shepherd. “We value the opportunity to bring together some of the finest student-athletes and teams in the NCCAA for quality competition and to compete at the highest level. We are also grateful to be part of championships that keep Christ at the center of competition. We look forward to continuing this partnership and providing an outstanding championship experience.” College of the Ozarks President Dr. Brad Johnson added, “The NCCAA Championships are about more than determining a champion. They are a celebration of Christian character, servant leadership, and athletic excellence. College of the Ozarks is proud to continue serving as a home for these events for years to come.” In addition to the hospitality provided by College of the Ozarks, the Branson/Tri-Lakes community continues to serve as an amazing destination that hosts millions of guests per year.
