The Nevada Charter School Sports League (NCSSL) was developed with a specific goal to make athletic programming accessible to all charter school students in grades K-12.  As a developmental program, the NCSSL (League) maintains a dual-focused approach to charter school sports.  We believe in establishing a solid foundation for our athletes to grow upon by teaching athletic fundamentals and developing the skill-sets needed to perform at a competitive level.  In addition to these building blocks, we promote a program that prioritizes good sportsmanship and fair play among our student-athletes, officials, coaches, and parents.
