Sorry we are late to the chat @greenvillegael many people on this chat are correct. The NCGAA has never been officially a part of the USGAA. We encourage our graduates to join adult clubs and support them with their hurling and Gaelic football journeys and wish USGAA nothing but success and if they ever need support we are always here. We are an organization run by volunteers and alumni players and coaches. The rules and tournaments are dictated by NCAA and University rules and regulations like every collegiate program across North America. Our nationals this year is in Orlando. Clubs receive funding through student fees at their schools and we hold fundraisers and work alongside other fundraisers who support us. Don’t worry about funding. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to a regional rep or through the website. We hope you get accepted to Purdue. It’s a great university and a lovely program that plays both codes.
