Welcome to Region 24 of the NJCAA

Region 24 spans 19 separate NJCAA colleges across the middle and the southern parts of the state of Illinois and southwest Indiana. The Great River Athletic Conference and the Mid West Athletic Conference house the majority of the programs involved in Region 24. Home of multiple NJCAA national championships and hundreds of NJCAA All-Americans, Region 24 consistently produces high level competitors and teams that promote the integrity and mission of the National Junior College Athletic Association.

The mission of Region 24 is to create an environment which maximizes the academic, social and athletic potential of each athlete while providing the most enjoyable athletic entertainment for our fans.

In addition, we shall aim to:

• Promote an athletic experience which reflects the highest ethical standards.
• Educate students to be aware that fair play and enthusiastic effort are as important as winning.
• Exemplify appropriate behavior: Coaches are role models and should demonstrate good sportsmanship, integrity, and promote the highest ethical standards.
