The NCCAA Game Plan 4 LIFE (GP4L) is to produce true winners.  The game plan is devised to draw out the student-athlete’s greatest potential – body, mind and spirit – focusing on four of Christ’s biblical traits:  LOVE, INTEGRITY, FAITH and EXCELLENCE.  The GP4L Character Program is a lifelong endeavor.

This game plan is catching on virtually all over the United States.  Since its first tournament in 1968, the NCCAA has grown to encompass approximately 90 Christian colleges nationwide, serving both Christian Liberal Arts and Bible Colleges.  The participating schools are dedicated not only to providing the best athletic competition possible, but also to exemplifying Jesus Christ in all they do.
 
The NCCAA believes:
That athletics are a means to an end, not an end in themselves.
That the process is as important as the performance.
That the person (student-athlete) is more important than the program.

The NCCAA is committed to:
1. Supporting coaches and their institutions in a plan that will impact the lives of student-athletes for Christ in the present as well as in the future.
2. Challenging the student-athlete via regional and national competition.
3. Enabling student-athletes to participate in intercultural outreach ministries through missions.
4. Expecting academic excellence.
5. Encouraging Christians to be able to best serve family, school, church, and our world.
6. Making a positive impact in developing the leaders of tomorrow.

Athletic participation in a Christian liberal arts or Bible college is a unique experience that prepares Christian men and women for a life of meaningful work and service.  The athletic experience provides a dynamic growth process for learning discipline, team work, leadership, and mutual respect where the student-athlete and his/her preparation for life is more important to the coaches and the athletic administration than win-loss records and championships.
