Please use the links below to visit the Official Facility Certification Survey for each of the following sports. Surveys will ask for court/field dimensions, venue and facility amenities, photo attachments, points of reference and other information.

The Facility Certification applies to the submitted venue only and NOT the submitting organization or institution as a whole.  As of 2025-26 academic year, facility certifications no longer have an expiration date.

Additionally, the Facility Certification process does not automatically make your organization or institution eligible to host an NAIA First & Second/Opening Round. The Facility Certification, in addition to an Official First & Second/Opening Round Host Bid, must be submitted to the NAIA Sport Manager.

FAQ's

I have a certified Facility for Women's Volleyball. Do I need to submit a new one for Basketball?

Yes. Due to the sport-specific standards for each individual sport, a facility certification needs to be submitted for each sport an institution plans to host.

Our home gym is approved, can we host at another location or site?

Facility Certifications apply to each individual venue, and NOT the submitting institution as a whole. Facility Certifications need to be submitted for any site that an institution plans to host.

Our previously approved facility has undergone reservations, do I need to submit a new Facility Certification?

All renovations and changes to a previously approved venue need to be communicated to the necessary sport manager. Depending on the changes to the facility, they will determine if a new submission is needed or if simple edits can be made.

For additional Facility Certification information or questions, please contact NAIA Senior Championship Manager, Abby Schultz (aschultz@naia.org).
