If you are interested in playing Division I or Division II sports in college - you MUST make sure you are taking the right classes in Middle and High School. The NCAA has approved the following courses to be considered when they make sure you are taking at least 16 CORE classes. These are also the classes the NCAA considers when calculating your CORE GPA (not 4 years of strength training!)... Make sure you are not just challenging yourself on the practice fields - you need to challenge yourself in the classroom as well!
