If you want to play sports at an NCAA Division I, II, or III school, start by registering with the NCAA Eligibility Center at eligibilitycenter.org during your sophomore year. The School Counseling department can provide resources to help you meet the initial-eligibility standards to participate in college sports. Additionally, it's important to be aware of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), which offers another pathway for student-athletes. The NAIA has its own eligibility requirements, and many schools provide competitive athletic programs at this level. Be sure to explore both NCAA and NAIA options to understand the best fit for your athletic and academic goals.
