National Christian Forensics and Communications Association

The NCFCA was established in 2001 after outgrowing its parent organization, the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), which had been running the league since it was originally established in 1995.

NCFCA is now organized under its own board of directors with regional and state leadership coordinating various tournaments throughout the season.

Tournaments are run by volunteers, who are usually parents, club directors, and league officials in the area.

The judging pool includes parents of competitors, NCFCA alumni, and members of the community.

[5] The NCFCA discourages the use of overly complicated theory and extremely fast talking (also known as "spreading"), instead encouraging effective communication of complex topics to lay judges.
