Seven different sports are offered within NCASB: Track and Field, Goalball, Cheerleading, Wrestling, Bowling, Forensics, and Swimming.

IHSA Sports

Students in grades 9 through 12 may compete in Illinois High School Association (IHSA) swimming and wrestling seasons.

In swimming, the IHSA features a separate division for individuals from all schools in Illinois who are blind or visually impaired. The girls’ season takes place in the fall, while the boys’ season is in the winter.

IHSA wrestling (winter) does not have a separate division like swimming, but does have the rule for constant-contact for all matches involving blind or visually impaired wrestlers.
