NCAA Student Athletes

The NCAA provides a pathway to college sports for student-athletes across Divisions I, II and III. The NCAA Eligibility Center helps college-bound student-athletes understand and complete the academic and athletics eligibility steps needed to compete at an NCAA school.

Initial eligibility certification determines whether you may practice, compete and receive athletics aid during your first year as a full-time college student. Requirements vary by division, so it is important to understand the path that applies to you.

If you plan on competing at the collegiate level, contact your school counselor right away. 

Refer to the NCAA Eligibility Center’s Guide for the College-Bound Student Athlete for information for you and your family. College-bound student athletes may also access an array of helpful videos via their YouTube page.
