National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics

Okay kiddo, so you know how universities have sports teams, right? Well, there are some people who work behind the scenes to help those teams be as successful as possible. They are called the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, or NACDA for short.

NACDA is like a big group of adults who all work at different universities and help make decisions about what their sports teams should do. They talk to each other and share ideas to make sure that everyone is doing their best to help their athletes do well.

They also have an important job of making sure that the sports programs are following all the rules and regulations that are set by the government and other organizations. Think of it like a big rulebook that everyone has to follow so that everything is fair and safe for everyone involved.

So, basically, NACDA is a group of grown-ups who help college sports teams do their best, follow the rules, and have fun while playing sports at their universities.
