The NCTA is pleased to announce that it will be selecting a team for the 2020 FISU America Games to be held May 31-June 10 in Merida, Mexico. The team will be selected at the 2020 National Collegiate Taekwondo Championships in Berkeley, CA. Sparring Team Trials for the event will be held on Friday, April 3, Poomsae Team Trials will be held on Saturday, April 4, and both will be separate from the NCTA Championships divisions for sparring and poomsae.

A sparring team consisting of 4 women and 4 men in combined weight classes will be selected, and individual, mixed pair and male and female teams will be selected for poomsae. Poomsae will follow current FISU rules and will require athletes to prepare both recognized and freestyle poomsae.

NCTA President Dan Chuang remarked, “This year is the second year that the FISU America Games have been held. With over 3,000 athletes from 17 countries expected to attend, these multi-sport games are like the Pan Am Games for collegiate taekwondo. The FISU America Games will be a fantastic opportunity for our collegiate athletes to represent USA and gain international experience in a unique environment.”
