In May of 1938, representaves from area instuons of higher learning 

gathered in Fresno, Calif., to form a unique collegiate athlec organizaon 

dedicated to America’s community and junior colleges. The meeng led to the 

adopon of a constuon and representaves in aendance formally 

announced the new organizaon as the Naonal Junior College Athlec Associa‐ 

on (NJCAA). 

Seventy‐five years aer its inaugural season (1938‐39), the NJCAA is now the 

second‐largest naonal intercollegiate athlec governing body in the United 

States with over 500 member colleges in 43 states. Recognized as the leader in 

two‐year collegiate athlecs, the NJCAA champions both athlec and academic 

opportunies for student‐athletes in concert with its member colleges. 

In 1974, the NJCAA’s inaugural Naonal Volleyball 

Invitaonal Tournament became the first collegiate 

championship held for women by a co‐ed collegiate 

organizaon. The tournament would evolve into a 

naonal championship just two years later as the sport 

began to spread to campuses across the country. Nearly 

38 years later, 314 teams from 35 States will compete 

for naonal championships across three divisions. 

To commemorate its 75th Anniversary, the NJCAA will launch a year‐long 

campaign to celebrate the milestones, student‐athletes, coaches, and 

administrators that have helped shape the organizaon and advance 

two‐year collegiate athlecs over the past eight decades. 

Throughout the 2012‐13 academic year, the NJCAA will celebrate its 75th 

Anniversary through various outlets, including a special secon of the NJCAA 

website: NJCAA.org/75. Tradional press releases will be distributed to member 

colleges as well as regional and naonal media during the 2012‐13 sports season 

and special 75th Anniversary content will be produced for the organizaon’s 

monthly publicaon ‐ NJCAA Review. NJCAA TV, powered by iHigh.com, as well 

as Facebook and Twier will be used to help keep member colleges, fans and 

followers informed on the latest 75th Anniversary news and announcements.

directed the Buccaneers to their program’s first two naonal 

championships. Rehr built the program into a naonal 

powerhouse, winning eight Region XIV tles. Prior to his arrival at 

Blinn in 2003, the program had not previously earned a bid to the 

NJCAA Naonal Tournament. In his inaugural season, the 

Buccaneers won their first 41 matches on their way to a 43‐2 

season and a sixth‐place finish in the NJCAA Division I ranks. 

Chris Green (Former Western Nebraska CC Head Coach)

During his tenure he built a naonal championship contending 

program, compiling a 453‐55 record. His 2007 squad won the 

NJCAA Division I naonal tle and his teams finished in the top 10 

naonally in all his seasons leading the program, including a string
