About Us
The Greater Cabarrus Athletic Association (GCAA) primary function is to provide a competitive sports venue for homeschool students. It is an environment that promotes a Christian approach to sports and teaches the student athlete the importance of bringing their faith into their athletics.
Mission Statement
The purpose of the Greater Cabarrus Athletic Association (GCAA) is to provide the home schooled student athletic opportunities within an environment that is both Christian and competitive. We desire to nurture the character of the young men and women entrusted to our program that will allow them to be successful in all future endeavors.
Current Status
Greater Cabarrus Athletic Association is a non-profit, 501(C)3 organization that relies entirely on the membership of each family and the donations of gracious people outside the GCAA family. As members of the larger North Carolina Home Educators Athletic Conference (NCHEAC), GCAA has enjoyed success on both the field and the court in recent years. As an at-large member of the Mid-State Athletic Conference our teams have joined a Christian athletic conference to further develop our teams.
