NCAA Bowling: est. 2003
The NTCA: est. 2005

Since its development, the National Tenpins Coaches Association (NTCA) has been a driving force in the advancement of NCAA Women's Bowling. More than half of the individuals who coach at NCAA institutions
who sponsor women's bowling are NTCA members, and that number continues to grow each season.

The NTCA's core mission is twofold. First, to faciliate dialogue between coaches and the NCAA in the development of bowling legislation and rules. Secondly, to provide coaches and institutions with the education
necessary to grow the sport.

The NTCA sponsors the The NTCA Coaches Poll, which is the official poll for ranking the top 25 NCAA women’s bowling teams in the nation as well as a separate poll for Division II and Division III programs. In addition, the NTCA sponsors All American awards, as well as Rookie, Coach, and Bowler of the Year awards. The NTCA also provides a statistical reporting service that tracks player and team performance
across multiple categories.
