The NAIA has officially partnered with Teamworks, designating the company as its preferred compliance solution provider. Through this partnership, NAIA institutions have the opportunity to invest in Teamworks’ Compliance + Recruiting software (formerly known as ARMS), a platform designed to streamline eligibility tracking, recruiting compliance, customizable workflows, and document management.

Teamworks has a strong presence across college athletics, supporting 98% of Division I, 70% of Division II, and over 45% of Division III institutions. This new partnership further extends Teamworks’ commitment to providing solutions for schools of all sizes, ensuring NAIA institutions have access to modernized compliance technology tailored to their needs.

Dozens of NAIA institutions, including Northwestern College, Roosevelt University, Friends University, McPherson College, Georgetown College, New College of Florida, Ohio Christian University, and many more, already leverage Teamworks’ platform to simplify compliance processes. Through this partnership, more NAIA schools will have the opportunity to adopt this efficiency-driving solution to modernize their compliance operations.
