NCAA/NAIA

Want to Play sports in college???

One of the first things college coaches do when they begin the athletic recruitment process with an athlete is to see if the athlete has registered with the eligibility centers. You must register with NCAA or NAIA depending on the institution to verify eligibility. There are differences in requirements depending on the Association and the level. You can pay with a credit card and Mr. Sikorski sends transcripts after each semester grades have been turned in. Links to the registration sites are below:


Student-athletes wanting to study and compete at an NCAA school are encouraged to register with the Eligibility Center at eligibilitycenter.org. Students should plan to register before their freshman year of high school (or year nine of secondary school) with a free Profile Page account. Profile Page account registrants get an NCAA ID and important reminders from the Eligibility Center as they progress through high school. These accounts can be transitioned to a paid Certification account at any time.


Any student planning to compete in NCAA Division I or II sports must create a Certification account before taking an official visit or signing a National Letter of Intent. 

After you register please send Mr. Sikorski an email letting him know you registered psikorski@lakewoodlocal.k12.oh.us
