The Circle City Conference or CCC is a high school athletic conference in the central district of the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA) consisting of 5 private schools; four Catholic schools and one nondenominational Christian schools in Greater Indianapolis. It began competition at the beginning of the 2016–2017 school year following a crackdown by the IHSAA on the multiple private schools that were playing numerous schedules with teams outside of Indiana.[1] The first sporting event in the conference was a boy's varsity tennis match between Brebeuf Jesuit and Guerin Catholic that took place on August 18, 2016. The Golden Eagles defeated the Braves 4–1. As of August 2015[update], Greg VanSlambrook is the president of the conference.[2] Combined, the schools have accounted for 85 IHSAA state championships.
