Students who are interested in participating in athletics at the college level must meet criteria set forth by the NCAA Eligibility center. Requirements to participate at the college level are rigorous and specific, and all students must meet the minimum eligibility requirements. It is important for students to register with the NCAA eligibility center at the beginning of the sophomore year and because NCAA course requirements are slightly different from college admission requirements, it is encouraged for prospective college athletes to work closely with their counselor to ensure that they meet NCAA eligibility requirements.
