college footgolf tournaments, and footgolf championship events.

from college and university athletics, campus recreation, club
sports, intramurals, and student organizations. NCFGA
membership enables participation and competition within a structured
amateur format featuring intercollegiate games, regional footgolf
tournaments, and national championship play. The NCFGA serves
to provide event administration, set competition rules, and to
create an opportunity for college student athletes to enjoy the game
of footgolf.
