The Executive Board Members felt it necessary to respond to the recent posts in order to clarify the role of the NCAA.  We respect the poster has the right to his/her opinion and appreciate the discussion however,  we felt it necessary to clarify that the NCAA is not and will not be a governing body that oversees individual business entities. 
The Mission Statement of the NCAA is to educate, promote, preserve and protect the highest standards of business ethics and practices that will be a model to our clients setting the highest degree of integrity for the All Star Cheer Industry.   In a previous post,  the NCAA has made it clear that although one of our many objectives is to educate our members about professional  business practices and standard code of conducts/ethics of gym owners,  coaches, instructors and athletes,  we have never taken the position of governing gyms, owners or coaches.  We have created processes that will display to the industry as a whole that collectively we are working together to assure that age guidelines are being complied with.  

The operating philosophy of the NCCA is that each gym is a private business and is encouraged and supported to be autonomous.   We do not discuss marketing strategies.   Every gym within the NCAA is a viable business first and foremost.   Each gym has the right to conduct their business as they see fit.   The NCAA objectives are clear:

1.       Coordinate and Negotiate competitive schedules where depth of competition in each division is available at every Northern California Event and acquiring discounted rates.

2.       Create and fund the Northern California All Star Scholarship Fund

3.       Sport Legitimacy:  The NCAA will actively pursue objectives to continuously strive to legitimize the integrity of the sport.  This objective will provide leadership for All Star Gyms and promote communication between gyms and the USASF and Event Producers in regards to standardized scoring, judging and implementing procedures to verify authenticity of registrations and compliance with the rules set forth by the USASF.

During the conversation on the message boards it was stated: My suggestion would be to report them to the NCAA, if they are part of this cheer "ethics" program they have going in norcal.  It should be addressed

This post implies that there is a process whereby individuals can report what they feel to be inappropriate behavior by members of the NCAA.    There is no such process and there is no program in place and it is completely opposite of our goals as an organization.   The NCAA has bylaws for its members and a membership agreement.   All information regarding the NCAA is fully disclosed at our website www.norcalallstaralliance.org. 

Further,  it stated that the poster would contact John.    Although John is an executive board member of the NCAA, this is an organization with a collaborative structure in place.  Goals and decisions are brought forth by the general membership,  then move onto committees made of varying gyms and then when appropriate a presentation to the executive board.   If the executive board approves it, it then goes to the general membership for a vote.     No one individual is the voice of the NCAA.  

These message boards can be used as a great source of information and we always encourage open dialogue,  however,  for the purposes of maintaining accuracy and not allowing a general statement that misrepresents the intent or the purpose of the NCAA to go unaddressed would be inappropriate and inaccurate.

Respectfully,

The Executive Board of the NCAA
