NSWCCC

Talented athletes are able to compete at Diocesan, State and National level through the sports supported by the New South Wales Combined Catholic Colleges (NSWCCC) Sporting Competitions.

On the website you will find all Sports events held by NSWCCC throughout the year. There is also a full calendar to check entry closing dates and selection trial dates and information.

The NSWCCC website allows parents/caregivers to enter their child into various events where an individual entry is required and pay the entry fees.

I would ask that parents continually check the website for up to date information on closing dates and competitions. It is the responsibility of the student and their parents to ensure they have registered for a sport on time. No late entries are accepted.

Below are instructions on 'How to Register' your child in any events. Should they make a NSWCCC team the coaching staff of that team will advise them of what the procedure will be. Please check the relevant pathway for each sport under "Sport Specific Information" and "Pathway Information" for further details.
