It has been my pleasure to serve this community by making sure that the sports tournaments meets the professional standards that previous PCNAK tournaments have set in place. The Tournaments being on Friday, July 4th, it has been a challege to find a place that will meet our needs for the competition. We were finally able to work out plan with the Cobb Galleria to hold both Basketball and Volleyball tournaments and the convention location. Between finding the right place, updating the rules, finding referees, and putting up a schedule, it’s been a long road. On behalf of the Sports Department, we want to send out a special thank you to past PCNAK Sports Coordinators that assisted us in ensuring the success of this year’s tournament.

Over the years, the PCNAK Sports Tournament has become one of the largest organized armature sports events in the Keralite community. As of now, the tournament consists of 400 hundred athletes competing in four sports which are Men’s Basketball, U19 Basketball, Women’s Volleyball and Men’s Volleyball. In keeping with this year’s conference theme, “To Know God More,” we will have a short worship session during lunch led by brother Stanley Johnson. This year’s tournament should not only be a place where we root for our favorite teams, but also a place where we can truly get on our knees.

All registration information and guidelines for the tournament are posted here. To avoid any late registration fees, I encourage all captains to get your team registered as quickly as possible. We would like to have the first round brackets available to you two weeks before conference.

I hope to see all of you here in Atlanta. Please keep the conference and the Sports Department in your prayers. If you have any questions or are interested in volunteering at the tournament, please contact me at sam.j.daniel@gmail.com or let your local youth representative know in advance.
