The NCTA is so pleased to announce that the 2022 National Collegiate Taekwondo Championships will be held April 1-3, 2022 in Marlborough, MA, just outside Boston. More information can be found on the Championships page.
This year, we will be focusing on our core constituency, collegiate athletes, and will not hold the NCTA High School Championships. We look forward to serving high school athletes again next year when we have fewer space and time constraints.
The NCTA Championships will serve as the qualifier for the 2022 FISU America Games on Oct. 16-18 in Merida, Mexico, the Pan American continental collegiate multi-sport Games. This event will be the time that the FISU America Games have been contested. Winners in the Black Belt sparring and Team Trials Poomsae divisions at the NCTA Championships will earn a spot on the team.
