Norse Athletic Association
MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
The Luther College Athletic Department invites you to become a member of the Norse Athletic Association today! The Norse Athletic Association was formed in 2007 to meet the increasing costs associated with running an NCAA Division III athletic program.
In 2007-08, funds raised through the Norse Athletic Association enabled the athletic department to purchase hardware and Internet services necessary to provide video streaming of various sport competitions on the web. This allowed alumni, parents, and fans to watch the Norse from anywhere in the world.
In addition, NAA funds were used to supplement travel budgets, enabling our teams to make spring trips, compete at more distant locations, and travel in buses more often. The Luther College Athletic Department is very appreciative of the support provided by NAA members.
