The purpose and function of the North Iredell Youth Athletic Association (NIYAA) is to enrich and balance the athletic and educational experiences of athletes at its member associations, to enhance athletic and academic integrity among its members, to provide leadership and to do this in a spirit of fairness to all. Member associations include ARS, Celeste, Central, Cloverleaf, Cool Springs, East Iredell, Harmony, NB Mills, Scotts, Sharon, Third Creek, Troutman, and Union Grove.
Note: Iredell County, Statesville, and Mooresville Rec Departments are not included in the North Iredell Youth Athletic Association. We may participate in sports with their leagues, but they are separate entities from the school-based associations under the NIYAA umbrella. In addition, these leagues are subsidized by county and city funds; all of the NIYAA associations are non-profit.
