NCAA Eligibility Center 

Want to play college sports?

Create the Eligibility Center account that's right for you!

If you want to compete in NCAA sports, register with the NCAA Eligibility Center, preferably your freshman year of high school. The information below will help guide you through the registration process.

To get started, review the three account options and choose the one that is right for you! You'll only need to create one account with the Eligibility Center. Starting with the free Profile Page is best practice, as you can transition it later to the Certification account needed for your circumstances.
