As we head into a new school year, any student-athletes wanting to play sports in college should create an EC account. Incoming freshman and undecided student-athletes may want to register for a free Profile Page account. These accounts can be transferred to paid a Certification account at any time. Profile Page account registrants also get an NCAA ID and important reminders from the EC as they complete high school. Any student-athletes planning to compete at an NCAA Division I or II school need to create a Certification account.
