Click HERE to download the 2022-2023 NCBBA-Women’s League Participation Agreement.  If you are renewing your membership with the NCBBA for the 22-23 season, this needs signed by both the Team Representative (e.g. Team President) as well as a Faculty Representative (e.g. Club Sports Director) to secure your spot in the NCBBA-W for the 2022-2023 season.  This is due no later than June 1st, 2022, so don’t delay.  It is much easier getting the required signatures before you leave campus for the summer.
