Historia

La idea de crear la NJCAA surje en 1937 en Fresno, California cuando un puñado de representantes de distintos centros educativos se reunen con la idea de fundar una asociación que promoviera y supervisara un programa de deportes que fuera consecuente con los objetivos educacionales de los institutos.

El acto de constitución de dicha asociación tuvo lugar en el propio Freso, el 15 de mayo de 1938, fecha a partir de la cual la NJCAA comienza oficialmente sus actividades.
